Mid June?

I'm in disbelief that it's already mid June! We are only two weeks into our summer vacation (my break) and it already feels like we've done so much. We haven't done too many activities, we've just had a lot of family time. Mike finished his big test and did such a great job! I'm so proud of all of his hard work. We were able to celebrate my last day and his great job on his test when nana and grandaddy watched the kids. They had a blast as always! Now I'm not sure if the highlight of going over there is the pool like it used to be, or the two new kitties and the treats nana buys for Savi to feed them. They are so loved and we are grateful for that.

Mr. Lucas is still an explorer and a busy little guy who doesn't want to be one step behind his big sis. He's 14 months and will throw anything if a ball isn't around. Daddy has been having fun playing baseball with him. It's amazing what an arm that little guy has. He's a happy boy who wants to be right by my side. He laughs easily and is still so ticklish. He loves animals. He's a great sleeper and loves his naps, thank goodness!

Savi is almost 3, wow! We are having fun planning her little ballerina party that she is inviting a couple of her little friends to. She hasn't changed much in the sense that she doesn't like a big crowd. She told me she would like to have a few friends, "Girls mommy" and specified who her friends are. She's so funny. She is all about her Barbies, baby dolls, pink and purple, skirts, dresses, shorts and ballet. She will be helping me wash dishes or cooking dinner and stand on her stool to use the counter as her ballet bar to perform some new move. She tells me that it's her moves for ballet. She goes once a week and absolutely loves it, and of course the stickers that come at the end.

Our life feels content and peaceful. There are loud and crazy moments, but we have all we need. We are amazed at our life and how blessed we've been. There have been some moments that were trying, but of course He is bigger than those and has seen us through. We've gained strength and wisdom over the past couple years that we never fathomed we could obtain.

Our little bun in the oven is cooking along just great. I'm 6 months and feeling great. He or she gets up with me in the morning, so that's our little time together where I just sit in the still of the morning feeling the rolls and kicks.
