Summertime Fun....

I finally got around to posting ballgame and 4th of July pictures! We had a good time at the ballgame on the 2nd. Joel was pretty good and wandered between people for most of the game. He did really well with the fireworks after the game. He didn't seem scared at all and watched very attentively. On the 3rd, we hosted a small barbecue before Defiance's fireworks. He was very busy, entertaining Lisa and Jason's other nephews and keeping tabs on Grandma and PawPaw! We sat at Kingsbury Park to see the fireworks. The seats were great and Joel was very cooperative and hardly fussed at all while we were waiting. Just like at the ballgame, he watched all of the people and the fireworks closely. He was awake very late both Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday he slept through church. We have had some issues getting him back on a normal bedtime, but he is doing better. I loved it on Sunday. Joel let me snuggle him while he slept during church. I live for those Mommy moments! He is growing and getting so smart! It is amazing to watch him figure things out and learn how to do things. Of course, he's a genius! More later...
