Oh what a glorious thing to have a house that is not only a home, but a house you love. Since Scott joined the Army we have lived in Army housing. It was nice, but you knew it wasn't yours, and it was never perfect. The house we bought in Georgia is a perfect fit for us. Our most recent project was to re-do the backyard. It is 95% finished. We need a few flowers and finishing touches and it will be just like we want it. The best addition was our 500+ square foot patio. There is a nice covered sitting area and another area for a fire pit and chairs, but most importantly between the two, there is room for a baby pool! CJ thoroughly enjoys bath time, so we were pretty certain the baby pool would be a big hit. When CJ's Nanny came last week for Easter, we broke out the pool and had soooo much fun. In fact, it's on our post-nap agenda today as well.
Disclaimer...this is a naked baby! If you know Scott well, this is one of the many ways this little guy is like his daddy. I chose pictures where boy parts are covered, but if I missed a few centimeters please don't be offended.
I'm not sure who is having more fun; CJ or daddy?
One our second pool afternoon, I put shorts and a hat on the little man. They lasted about 10 seconds. But isn't he a cutie in it? CJ's new favorite game is for me to put his hat on him and then for him to pull it off. When we went inside, he kept bringing me his hat and would fuss until I put it on his head and he could pull it off. Quite a fun game...
And lest you think Connor is left out of all our fun. She is right there with us. Last summer we had a yard turtle, Pete. He would come to our door and check out what we were doing, Connor would bark like a possessed beast at him, and then after awhile, he would meander away. We hadn't seen him for months, so we figured when we were gone, he must have found new people to watch. What we didn't realized was that Pete was actually a Petunia, and although she is gone, she left us a surprise! Connor was so intrigued. She guarded this little turtle. Or maybe she was trying to figure out how to eat him. Who knows, but she was not letting him/her out of her sight.
