Late June and early July, J.P. left us for a week to go fishing in Canada with his dad, uncle, and some friends. He had a great time, caught some very yummy fish, but I think he missed his little man more than he thought he would. I know we really missed him, but we survived! I took a day off to hang out with Jack and went to lunch with 2 of the girls I did water aerobics with while we were all pregnant. It was fun to have time with some girl friends, but it is crazy how conversations change after you have a baby! 2 days, Jack went to day care all day, and the other 2 days he spent with Grandma and Grandpa Hatlestad while I was at work. I think they really enjoyed spending all day with him and now they keep hinting that they want us to move closer...probably won't happen!
This month, Jack also got to celebrate his first 4th of July. We went to my parent's house for a cookout and was able to take Jack swimming again. He enjoys the pool more and more each time we put him in. Hopefully this fall, we can start swim lessons! He was asleep by the time the fireworks started, but maybe next year he will be able to enjoy them!
J.P. got to spend a week with Jack before he had to start working, so Jack is now in day care full time. Jack really enjoys Miss Val and always smiles when I drop him off to her. We always get good reports too! It is such a relief that we have found a wonderful daycare.
Aunt Brooke and cousin Briana came to visit!
Kansas City was the host of this year's All Star Game, so during the festivities, Reebok asked our Cross Fit gym to host a throw down between 2 MLB All Stars, Jose Bautista and David Ortiz. J.P. was able to participate in the event and able to meet some big name baseball players. I wish I would have been able to go, but I had to work : (
Jack's 3rd month was culminated by being baptized! It was a wonderful day to spend with family and to celebrate our sweet angel John Steven. He wore a baptismal gown that was made by my Grandpa LaBadie's mother and was worn by all my aunts, uncles, cousins, and my sister. It was so neat to be able to carry on the tradition.
