Summer Fun

I can't believe it's already July 11! Summer is already half over and time has flown by. Jeff and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary yesterday. Giovanni got to have a sleep-over with his Grandma Jane one night and Grandma Jennifer and Grandpa Mark one night while Jeff and I enjoyed some summer fun in Cincinnati. We had a very nice time, but were so happy to get home this morning and wrap our arms around our big boy!

Giovanni has had a great summer. Take a look at some of the pictures. I have to be honest -- his babysitter, Jennifer, is much better at getting good pictures than I am. So a bunch of these pictures were taken by her at her house. Giovanni has such a wonderful time over at her house playing with all his friends.

Giovanni is growing up so fast. It seems like every day he shows us something new he has learned. He is climbing, swimming, sliding, laughing, singing, dancing, and talking up a storm! He is truly a blessing, and I can't count how many times a day I thank God for our precious little boy. We are so lucky to have him in our lives. I hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July and is enjoying every minute of the summer. I am loving having this extra time to spend with Giovanni, and just want time to slow down so the summer doesn't end too soon!
