We have been enjoying our summer so far. The break from school has been full of playing outside! We took mini-vacation down to Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach that included a fun tour aboard the USS NC Battleship.

James and I aboard the USS NC Battleship

As I solemnly swore in a previous post, James did not get an Xbox 360 for his birthday. And to be honest, he has not asked for one in a long time. He's been too busy physically to think about sitting still to play video games. He got his first bicycle! He was so excited! Chris was in charge of getting the bike and the helmet and so I laughed when he also brought home a set of elbow pads, knee pads and little fingerless gloves for James to wear while riding his new bicycle. After witnessing his first tumble on his bike, I am grateful that Chris bought the extra padding! Beside, James thinks they are totally cool. They are Spiderman pads and gloves.
James said his birthday was "the best birfday ever!". We had family come to spend the day with us that live far away. The last time they saw James when he was one year old and he certainly didn't remember them but he sure liked them! All of James' grandparents and his cousin and favorite neighbors came over and he had so much fun. He finds joy in all he does. Chris'parents are spending several days with us and as I sit at the computer writing, I am enjoying the sounds coming from the kitchen table. James is learning to play "Battleship" with Nana and Pop-Pop. Priceless. "You sank my battleship!" haha
I can't believe my baby is now five. He's not a baby anymore. It was so fun to celebrate him; to remember him being born and all the milestones along the way. Sigh. My sweet boy.
