The baby has a new home…that’s right, we are now back to our little family of 5. It feels nice to be back to just our boys, although it really was nice to have baby snuggle time again. There’s just something great about holding a newborn. Baby’s relative came last night and was so happy to have him. That’s the part about foster parenting that I like, when you feel good about where the baby is going. They really were excited, she has kids at home and lots of relatives around who just can’t wait to see Baby and be a part of his life. We were blessed to be a part of his life for this short time, he will be missed for sure, it’s always hard to say goodbye.

Dee and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on Thursday night by going out to eat. I can’t believe how different our lives are now from 4 years ago in Vegas. What a trip, though, and I would love to repeat it someday. Sipping margaritas and watching the Bellagio fountains, ahhhhh. The heat here is a reminder of Vegas for sure, but we just don’t have anywhere air conditioned and cool to come inside to.

We set up the kiddie pool yesterday and turned on the sprinkler and the boys had a blast playing in the water. We got the paints and paper out and they created masterpieces out in the lawn. Carlos was covered in paint by the time we were done.

We’re off to the beach with Nana and Papa today (after garage sales and naps) and then over to their place for dinner. Should be a fun dady…just trying to stay cool. 🙂
