Summer Fun!

Our summer has been off to a great start; particularly since Kevin graduated and is home most of the time when he's not busy studying for boards (which fall on my birthday at the end of July).

In May, our interfaith gathering had a welcoming ceremony for babies, where they blessed Jackson and the other kids with holy water and a prayer shawl and said both Jewish and Christian blessings for his well-being.



We had Kevin's whole family in town for graduation; here's a shot of Jax with Nana and Zeidi (and Snuggles), and getting in some storytime!

And so far, we have a little fish who loves the water - he dunked his face in twice last weekend without prompting!

And we celebrated the 4th of July by taking our little firecracker to Cville for a stay at the Boar's Head, to celebrate being able to just get away as a family at the drop of a hat - finally! We went to the pool, ate outside on the downtown mall and listened to street performers at Fridays after Five, went to the spa, and just celebrated our independence from daddy's pager. Here's our little wahoo checking out his future residence on the Lawn from the Rotunda, a shot of he and daddy eating chips in bed together, and some Fourth of July fun!
