Summer

We've had such a fun few days.

Yesterday Mike, Leilani, and I spent some time in the backyard together as a family. Leilani played in her kiddie pool with some toys while Mike and I played Ladder Golf next to her. After three games, we heard the ice cream truck's familiar tune. Mike grabbed Leilani out of her pool (still dripping wet!) and ran down the street after it. We enjoyed a couple of Astro Pops while going for a walk together. We then ran into a neighbor of ours and stopped to chat.

What a classic Summer afternoon. I kinda felt like I was in a Country Time Lemonade commercial.

Today was a lot of the same. I took Leilani for a walk in the morning and we all spent some time together in the backyard in the afternoon while Leilani played in her pool. Much to our surprise, Leilani figured out how to climb out of her pool today and went running naked around the yard! It was adorable! To top the day off, we built a fire in the fire pit in the evening.

All in all, it's been a nice couple of days.

I do find myself reminiscing about last Summer and all the fun Mike and I had while I was pregnant. It makes me a little sad looking back... I consider last Summer to be one of the best times of my life. The reasons for that are simple... we had the house to ourselves. For the first time in 3 years, Mike and lived alone together and for the first time, I felt comfortable in this house. Things are back to being the way they were before, but with the addition of our little Leilani, this Summer looks to be great also!
