We love LONG weekends!!

Summer is here!! We have been having a fun weekend, playing at the spashpark and enjoying the beautiful weather! Alexa is LOVING life! She is becoming such an independent little person and isn't afraid to let us know just what she thinks of things, even if she can't quite vocalize those feelings with actual words! And we love having Kevin around. We thought he was going to be in classes until the end of June when he will be taking Boards, but found out that, other than a final tomorrow morning, he doesn't have to be back in class until June 9th. What fun for Alexa and I!! We get to enjoy some more family time over the next couple weeks. How grateful I am that I get to stay at home with Alexa so that we can be here to enjoy the time with Kevin when he doesn't have school. We won't take these breaks for granted since in a couple short years Kevin will enter the working world and time off will be fewer and farther between!
On a side note...I think I can actually vocalize this without jinxing it now that it has been 8 days straight....Alexa has been napping for at least 1.5 hours each day instead of her 20 - 30 minutes naps that had been the norm for the past 3 months!! In fact, today it was a 2.5 hour nap!!! I'm in heaven! I think we've started a new trend and I'm am soooooooooo grateful! I can actually get things done during the day now! Happy times for me!

It is so nice having the men around! Alexa is getting so big I can hardly believe it. Looks like you guys are having fun. Hope to see you soon.
