Our weekend

Last week was packed with service opportunities and Eli was a trooper through it all so on Thursday morning we went to The National Building Museum with our friends. {Free for military families. So nice!}
Picnic lunch with friends!


Every day after Eli's nap, he begs to go "outside." (He's starting to figure out how to say that word!) After his nap on Thursday, it had just stopped raining. When we went outside, he immediately went to the puddle, and I didn't stop him. It's fun to enjoy the simple things in life sometimes, right? He was SO happy that he'd smile any time I asked him to. 





Thursday night and Friday were filled with more service opportunities so we planned a fun family date night at the National Harbor. This balloon kept him entertained all through dinner.


We had frozen yogurt for dessert and enjoyed the World Cup on the big screen.


Saturday was a relaxing day of cleaning the house and Eli got to enjoy his summer pool for the first time. Thanks, Grandma Volk!



This pretty much sums up our Father's Day at church. It's rough being a 14 month old and wanting to run around everywhere during church and being forced by your parents to sit still.


Last night we had homemade pizza with the Volks and cheered on Argentina! 


Happy Father's Day, Aaron! And happy summer to all of us!

Lincoln just saw that pic of Eli crying and he said, "He's probably just sad because he wants us to come over and swim with him in his pool." Looks like a full week!

Amanda, you are such a cute mom and Eli looked so happy in that puddle :)

Of course he's sad because he can't be with his cousins in the pool!!!

I know! I'm so excited to meet baby boy! Haha that's what I'm trying to focus on and not the terror I feel every time I think of labor/delivery.
