Lately Alex has been getting up early and coming into our bed. Since AJ has been at work, him and I have a little morning snuggles before getting Brooke up.

Brooke’s Castles and miscellany
Brooke takes quiet time most days and naps usually once a week (more often if we are having a physically rigorous week). During quiet time she has taken to building me elaborate buildings she often calls castles though sometimes they are schools or complete towns. Here are a few pictures of her creations now that I started taking pictures of them. Also miscellaneous pictures of her and Alex: having actual tea (tisane), wearing my shoes (Alex is obsessed with my heels), Brooke’s seeing Finding Dory with a friend, a day in our garden harvest, and the dinner it created.
4th of July Celebration- Alex’s First Fireworks!
For this year’s 4th of July Celebration we headed the Chesapeake City Park to enjoy their festivities and fireworks show. We enjoyed some of the kids crafts and bounce houses but when they shut them down (an hour before fireworks started) we took to the Fun Forest to play. Once the fireworks started Alex was awestruck! He didn’t even suck his thumb or wince once. He really enjoyed his first fireworks show! Happy Birthday America!
Farmers Market
Busy Day: Farmers Market, Bergey’s Farm, Music Class, Library Storytime
Today we had a very busy day. We started off going to the farmers market to get some produce, then to the farm to play with the animals and get fresh eggs before attending our first music class, and heading to the library for Brooke’s story time. All before noon!
