Summer Sun Somethings Begun...

Not sure how to recap all the fun we have been having these past few weeks, doesn't mean I won't attempt to in a picture montage to follow! The beautiful, almost bizarrely sunny & warm weather, has given us day after day of fun in the sun. I am proud to say Haley doesn't have a tan, so my morning ritual of slathering on the sunscreen has been successful. We have totally gotten into a lazy summer routine. Haley has even started sleeping in (on occasion) until 7 a.m.  It's going to be a rude awakening when school starts again. Jalen is really growing fast. He's not crawling yet, but he's rolling around like crazy! He has his 6 month check up on Aug. 13th and it's crazy that he is already that old! I feel like his "infant" months went so much faster than Haley but I suppose with her we had some bonus months ;)


Our travels this summer have included trips to family in Syracuse and Canton and to Sacandaga Lake last week (near Saratoga) to see friends. We also have our playground dates a few times a week with our Northside friends. We have been avid playground explorers, daily walkers, and occasional beach bums.


We plan to slow down a bit in August and suck up every last day together. Mike's sister Leanne will be getting married in a few weeks, so we will be taking an adventure to Long Island. With Haley being 1 of the 3 flower girls and Jalen the ring bearer it is sure to be just that!
