Our precious little girl is growing up so fast. This week she’s discovered the joy of hiding from Mommy. In the past when we’ve played hide-n-seek, I’m the hider and Becca is always the seeker. But this week, Becca learned to hide all by herself. Granted, she always hides in the same place (behind her bed in the closet), but she loves being found. It always catches me off guard when I look around for Becca and realize she’s waiting for me to find her.

We enjoyed celebrating Josh’s birthday last weekend. Friday night we got together with some friends to celebrate. We were limited on who we could invite due to our small apartment. Five extra people made it feel very small! Becca and I are delighted to have Josh as the #1 man in our lives. Josh is keeping busy with his teaching and research. The end of the semester means a break from teaching and additional research. Ph.D. students who are working on dissertations don’t get the summer off.
