Summer Fun

Summer is shaping up to be full of family, friends and fun. Wouldn't have it any other way. It sounds bad but anything we can do to keep the time flying by is a good time! And that really doesn't sound right I know because we are truly having a great time, but it's a double bonus when you can have a great time and fast forward the clock. Need that man home! Today was the first time Drew heard Cole call him Da Da to his face. Cole always points at pictures and says Da Da but today Cole clearly looked at Drew's face on Skype, reached out to him and said Da Da. I could see Drew's heart melting the minute Cole said it. Jeannie got to see it too. :) So damn cute. As Drew said, that just made it all worth it. Can't wait until Cole can do that in person. Soon! We are about half way there. Keep on keeping on...Drew has taken on a new project of training local guys. He has a team of 5 guys who he is putting through about a month long training session. It's only day two and he is seeing progress. He transitioned them from flip flops to tennis shoes which they appreciated and Drew already sees their enthusiasm increasing. Drew is good at that and it benefits both teams. Once again.. anything to keep that clock moving forward!
This past weekend Cole spent the night with Gigi and Pop while the cousins and I checked out the river right by our house. Success!

Cole had a bonus weekend because he saw Uncle Pete and Aunt Ashley at Gigi and Pop's on their way home from their trip yesterday. He then spent the morning with Gigi and Pop while we painted the stairway then we headed to Brophy Ranch to finish the bench for the kitchen table. So lucky to have great family! Among all the fun we are continuing to make home improvements which is fun to me too. My Dad and I have now finished the kitchen table and the bench. Here is the table.

 I'll be able to bring the bench home after it sits for 24 hours. Love it!!
