Great Grampa Joe Well, first off let me start out with this little quote I came across...
"Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make it so, right in the middle of it we die, lose a leg, fall in love, drop a jar of applesauce." Natalie Goldberg
I woke up this morning to find that our little man got his 2nd tooth! I can't believe it! Beau's also been trying to crawl...if we put the remote in front of him he'll get one leg under him to start crawling but then goes to his tummy! That's not all he's been up to either...he now says, dada, mama, baba. He's been eating fresh mangos and all sorts of fruits and vegetables too! One of his favorites is avocados with bananas! This has also been quite the experience for Chuck and I too! Before Beauman we never bought mangos or even had a fresh avocado and now we are enjoying them ourselves! I've been busy making Beau's babyfood and freezing it, which has been a little more work but at the same time kinda fun and addicting!
Last week, Beau got to spend time with Great gramma and grampa joe. They drove here from new mexico to see all the family and made a special trip to our house to spend the day with us. We'll hopefully get to see them again in a few weeks at my parent's camper. We enjoyed our time together and beau loved all the snuggles and kisses he got too!
Our 4th of July consisted of camping with my side of the family, seeing Chuck's brother and his family from Missouri and a little trip out to the lake to have breakfast with all of chuck's cousins. It was a big weekend for us- beau got to see so many cousins! He even got to spend time with little Izzy! He even met cousins he'd never even seen before! Chuck's brother has 3 kids and they just swarmed around him when they saw him for the first time. On Saturday night we set off fireworks at Dan and Carol's...fun times!
As for the business, Chuck is definitely keeping busy! He's actually looking for some help. He has one employee but needs another. At the end of June he surpassed the amount of work he did last year and to think he still has 3 more months of good weather! Wow! We feel very fortunate and would like to thank those of you that have referred chuck. All it takes is one job and it's like a snowball effect! Even with all the business, chuck has been able to squeeze in a little fishing time and time for the garden :) I'm not sure if you know this about Chuck but he really enjoys gardening! He grows it and I can it :)
I've been keeping busy, well, makin baby food, strolling and swimmin with beau, reading, and this past week I started running- let's see how long this lasts! I'm really looking forward to this weekend because it's my annual "Women on Water" fishing tournament on Lake Winnie. GO team Richardson/Procopio!!! This is our 4th year doing it and Carol is my partner- we always have a blast doing this and it's something I look forward to every year!! Dan and Chuck usually hang out for the day while Carol and I are on the lake. Chuck and I also get a night out this weekend too! Yay!
Hope all is well and enjoy the weekend!!
Later gator!
