Squashed

We started off the week with our first trip to the lake. Although we missed out on the 4th of July lake festivities, Monday provided a great day to enjoy the weather without all the traffic and wild parties at the marina. I was so excited about finally getting back to Lake Norris that we were pulling out of the driveway before I realized I was still wearing my slippers. I'm not kidding. I'm sure it won't be the last time I pull out of the driveway without forgetting some rather important detail--like shoes! We were able to spend the entire day on the Bradley's houseboat. The kid loved it! Tony was also kind enough to take me skiing for the first time in nearly a year. I got up but it wasn't pretty.
The rest of our week was pretty typical. However, I'm happy to report that our son has been sleeping through the night for an entire week now! Woo hoo! I wonder what Chester was whispering in his ear. Probably "scoot over kid" or "she was my mom first you know."
On a rather disappointing note, this is our entire squash harvest. I think I planted them too close together. At least they tasted good. Jason's mom (a.k.a. Grandma Molly) came through on Saturday. She volunteered to babysit so that Jason and I could hit the town on a date. Yay! We decided to cash in a gift card to Copper Cellar and play pool at Barley's afterwards. Even though it is hard to peel myself away from our little cutie, I always have so much fun hanging out with my hubby. I think we'll try to incorporate a date night every two weeks. But, unless our moms decide to commute every two weeks to spend time with John Thomas, we'll soon be in the market for a babysitter.
Church must have been exhausting today because we could not wait to get home and steal a nap on the couch. Chester took full advantage of my empty arms and lap. What a sweet family I have.
