First, Blakeley started walking on July 4th! It started with just two little steps, and over the next 3 weeks she is a master! Thankfully, she is not running yet...
Justin and I were also able to go on a little vacation to Mexico!! We planned it perfectly that my mom and step-dad (Nana and Grandaddy) and Justin's parents (Buddy and Mimzy) each watched Blakeley two nights while we were gone. It was a little stressful leaving her for so many days, but the quality time Justin and I spend together was much needed. It's easy to forget that before Blakeley we only had each other, and that God wants us to put each other before our children. (So basically, God wanted us to go to Mexico - j/k! ) :)
The highlight of the trip (besides me getting to read 2 whole books while we were gone) was having the opportunity to help release baby sea turtles into the ocean. The resort we stayed at helps protect the sea turtles, and eggs. On Friday, we found out that anyone who came to the beach at 6:00 p.m. could help release a baby sea turtle. We actually had to wait until about 7:30 but it was sooooo worth it!
I'm so thankful the time that Justin and I got to spend together this summer! Our life is very busy during the school year, and so we try our very best to take advantage of us both being teachers and getting away!
