Leland is taking a nap, emails are just about caught up, laundry is going…so now I will write a little blog post. I can’t believe it’s been over a week since I’ve written anything! Then again, I guess I can believe it. Things have been busy….last weekend we were out of town for Memorial Day, I had a wedding last Friday (a gorgeous wedding!!) and I have another wedding tomorrow. When we were out of town this weekend, we went up to my grandparent’s house on the lake. Leland learned to swim in the lake- and he loved it!! Everyday he is learning new words…learning new things. For the longest time he would walk around saying “akoo akooooo” and I had no idea what he was saying! I would just reply “yes, two! good job” thinking he was saying “two.” Well, when he was watching his favorite show the other day (Blues Clues) he said “akoo” again and it hit me! He had been saying “A clue!” for weeks and I had no idea. So I drew a blue paw print on paper and sure enough, he said “akoo.” (My heart might have melted.) Everyday is a little adventure with him and I’ve never seen a little toddler who is so happy (though he has his moments!!) and talks 24-7. I guess he’s got Jay’s genes ;)

Anyway, I’m rambling just to ramble…. Here are some random pictures that totally don’t go together but that I’ve taken over the past couple of weeks of daily life, traveling, and all…
