lagging behind (Part 3)

June:


Michael and I celebrated 6 years of Marriage on Fathers Day. Knowing that our actual anniversary would be difficult to celebrate as we celebrated Father's day, Michael had planned a little weekend Get-A-Way for us to Chicago to celebrate.


Well before I go any further I should explain that Michael and I gave our parents another special gift. The gift of expecting another grandchild. We were hoping once I found out I was pregnant that this pregnancy would be different from the last one, but in June showed since that it wouldn't be much different. So our weekend away from Chicago, was fun, even with the puking in public bathrooms, cars, our hotel room, resturants,etc. Michael had business on the way out there, and with me not feeling too well, I didn't mind I just slept in the car. Besides not feeling well, we did enjoy a nice movie together (we haven't been to the movies in a long time), walked the magnificant mile, ate at the bottom of the john hancock building, ate cheesecake from the cheesecake factory on Navy pier while watching fireworks, and slept in each morning (one morning not even leaving the bed till noon). My husband even brought me Breakfast in bed. It was so nice to get away, even despite the illness. We just wish we didn't have to travel. I am sorry I don't have any pictures to share from our little adventure, but they probably wouldn't be posted anyways, since I was very green.



Fathers day was great. Jacob and I gave Michael Breakfast in bed, with a little help from my brother Brian, since cooking food is a little nauseating to me. We spent the afternoon, with family, just chilling. My Dad is a great dad, and has been helping me out tremendously this summer with Jacob, since I don't feel up to running after a 2 year old and feel like I am letting him down. It is nice to have him home for the summer too. Michael is an awesome dad. Jacob loves playing with him. It is so cool to see them interact. I know Michael will be great with this new little one on the way too.


In June is also Brian's (my brother) birthday. Since he is home from college for the summer we decided to celebrate. Chris, Rachel, Malachi and Ruth came up to enjoy the party. Jacob had so much fun playing with his cousins. He gets so excited when he knows they are coming up.

Chris, Rachel, and Brian took the kids outside to swim in the kiddy pool. Jacob thought "Hmm, I could use this float from the slip-n-slide to relax"

But Ruth fit much better

"Now what are you goind to do with my slide, Ruthie?"

Malachi decided to stay out of the pool drama and relax swinging

We also found out what happens when Jacob's aunt and Uncle come to town and spoil him with Icecream, before supper, then about an hour later let him have icecream cake. Jacob was crazy, and wanted to "March the Porch" for hours missing his bedtime a little. He litterally said " I march the porch" and would march in a circle around the front porch. It was kinda cute, because Ruthie would sing, I'm in the Lord's Army. But Jacob continued even after Ruthie was done singing and had left for Muncie.
