I haven't forgotten about the blog. We have been enjoying our time outside with the nice weather we have been having.....well that was until today, of course. Justin absolutely loves being outside. He thinks he can go wherever he pleases. He has made himself right at home in our neighbors, Pam and Bernardo, garage (it has lots of cool toys) and their basketball court in the backyard. They have two boys - Bernardo and Xavier. Justin really likes playing with them even though they are older. Both boys are really good with Justin.

Emma (Carrie's daughter) often comes by on her electric scooter with Belle (her dog) and her parents. Justin goes crazy when she comes. He just loves her so much. She will be coming down the street and Justin will yell, "Emma, Emma, Emma," until she final gets to him. He likes to sit on her scooter and pretend to ride. It is also sad when she leaves. Justin never wants her to go. He will cry and yell "Emma, Belle, Emma, Belle" Often at night, he will say Emma's name out-of-the-blue with a curious look, as though he is wondering where she is at or what she is doing.

Most people in the neighborhood that live around us and learning who Justin is - he is very social and makes himself at home wherever he goes. It can be embarrassing at times for us, as we drag our two-year old out of their yard or off of their kids toys.

We have started a few out-door projects. Well, really I started projects for Jay. I mulched our flower beds and now we are installing lights and spots. We also got some porch furniture - so no more setting on the step! I am trying to teach Justin the limits of the porch - HA, that is a challenge. He wants to take off and play.

Currently (as I am typing this post), Justin is holding the spray water bottle up and spraying himself in the face! Yep, he is goofy.

It is going to be a fun summer!
