1. I left Blake for the first time overnight last Friday as I attended a youth conference with four members of my church youth group. Blake did great and it was a huge relief for me since I have to leave him two night this upcoming weekend. While I was gone, Lauren, Blake and Bradley along with Grandma and Grandpa attending Bradley's work picnic and the closing program for Lauren's friend Kaylee's VBS program. They all had a good time at the picnic. Lauren did her normal stage fright before the program but survived I'm happy to report!
2. Monday Lauren started VBS at our church. Blake and I are attending too since I'm helping in Lauren's classroom. Blake is the youngest attendee! It's been a long week for us. We have a half hour drive each way to church. Blake has been a trooper though and Lauren has kept her energy level high for the most part. Sunday is her closing program which should be interesting. She refuses to practice the songs and actions at home! 
3. Monday night we got our new car. We purchased a new Buick Enclave. It's so nice to have a third seat and to have cargo room too! Even Lauren is excited, so much so she's refusing to eat in the car! I wonder how long this will last.....
4. I discovered a leak in our basement and finally the source, a pipe that had a nail hole in it from our baseboards. So the plumbers were here at 6:45 Wednesday morning fixing it. Luckily it's all fixed now and the bathroom is put back together too.
5. We have a retaining wall around our walk out patio and also landscaping by our hearth room and down to the walk out area! We also have path way lights and spot lights. We only did the back for now to control the erosion on our patio below our deck. Now I'm anxious to do the front. However, we won't be doing that until next year.
6. Blake started CRAWLING! He's finally got the coordination down! He started really moving on Thursday morning. He had done smidgets of it last week and early this week but never enough to really count it as crawling, more like scooting. Thursday morning though he figured it out! He's even trying to pull up on things now and I keep finding him in his crib sitting up looking over the side. Bradley's #1 priority this weekend is to lower the crib. I've tried to upload the video I took on my camera of him crawling, but it's not working! Grrr... I don't do so well with video for some reason!
7. Blake discovered the art of playing with his food! Raspberries and blueberries seem to be the ones we like best. It's hysterical to see him squeeze them as hard as he can and just feel the goo going through his fingers. Not fun to clean up, but so cute to watch!
