after much consideration, i decided the quit my job to stay home with nicky for the summer. i had been with the company for almost 7 years, and not only was it pretty dead-end, i realized that i was missing out on the most important thing in our lives...spending time with nick. we've had quite the rocky road post-adoption - nick and i's bonding experience unfortunately didn't come as easily as expected. we also realized that nick was going to need to start a medication regime for his recently diagnosed ADHD and anxiety, and i didn't feel comfortable relying on a stranger to update me on his progress/set-backs. so...quit my job i did, and a fun summer we had! we got to travel
here and
here and we had a lot of lazy days, hanging out with friends, and a lot of pool time. what more could i have asked for?!
 |
| visiting daddy at the fire station |
 |
| swimming lessons with best bud trevor |
fun night grilling and hanging out with friends...
church arts & music camp... more riding of horses...
 |
| nicky & trevor ready to race their lego stompers...these things took about an hour to put together...3.7 seconds to fall apart! but...they were fun for the boys none the less. |
 |
| nick in a bucket... |
2nd annual 4th of july at the fc dallas game...
 |
| when ya gotta go...ya gotta go... |
 |
| sun goes down...shirt comes off. this kid's come a loooong way from the one who used to pull at his shorts legs to make them longer and the days of not even wanting to walk around the house sans shirt! |
 |
| one smart little russky...chillin' like a villian with girlfriend blair while trevor gives them a ride around the pool |
the silly faces above definitely summarize the summer and it's awesomeness! getting back into the swing of the school year was pretty rough. most every day the first few weeks involved a nap as soon as snack time was over. i don't know about the russky, but i'm so ready for the warm weather and swimming and hanging out with friends. the daily grind of being back to work, getting up early and having the responsibility of school is a drag! summer break 2012 can't come soon enough!
xoxo...liese :o)
