Welcoming Summer

I am using Mattimeo's second nap to take advantage of an opportunity to throw together a post of miscellaneous pictures over the last week or so that are too good to keep to myself.

Napping currently

Yesterday was the official first day of summer, and I feel like we've been doing a pretty great job of welcoming it. See for yourself:

For the past two days, we have had a heat wave! Last night after playing in the pool with Meo, I just let him crawl around naked in the yard. I figured it would be good to air out his diaper area in the great outdoors.

Lately he prefers to monkey crawl when he has bare knees outside

We had a picnic dinner outside with Daddy because it was so nice out

Robbie feeding Meo

Last night, I took a cute video of Robbie reading Meo a bedtime story:

Today was another scorcher. Since we live across the street from the Lake Arrowhead Club House, I decided to go check out the pool with Meo. The water was deliciously cool, and although Meo was a little nervous and clung onto me for dear life, we had a lot of fun cooling off.

Bathing suit weather

About to go into the pool with Mama

Before his nap, we rinsed off the chlorine in our little pool by the garden:

I hope you all are getting as pysched for summer as we are!!
