So I think that I must be the worst blogger ever.  I just can’t seem to find time in my day to get stuff down.  We have been really busy this summer.  After we returned from Disneyland, we have been going non-stop.  I took my certification course on native hot stone massage and LOVED it.  It is the most amazing massage I have ever had and now I can give it. There is also a lot of running as the marathon gets closer.

Tom’s family came in to visit and we all went down to Fresno for Great-Grandma Gibson’s 90th birthday and the family reunion.  Liam had fun playing with his cousins Luke and Sophie, but I got sick so I didn’t have as much fun.  On the way home, we stopped in Yosemite.  Since we got so much snow in the winter and spring was really wet and lasted into the middle of June, the waterfalls were gushing and so beautiful. Liam enjoyed climbing around on the rocks and looking down at the floor from Glacier Point.

When we got back, Liam and I took off for several days in the Bay area to spend time with Lisa and Karl.  We also got to catch up with old friends in the area and saw Courtney’s new baby Giles.  He was 10 lbs when he was born and is only 3 weeks old but looks a couple months.  He is adorable and I miss the newborn stage so much.  Liam is now a wreck because all the traveling messed him up, but we are slowly getting him back on track.

Liam is no longer a baby.  He has had his second mullet removal haircut and looks like a little man.  He is running all over the house and finding ways to get into more and more trouble.  He loves to get into my make-up drawer and see how much damage he can do to his adorable face.  He is also getting so much more independent.  He wants to hold everything himself, get everything himself and be in charge of everything.  He is currently going through a stage where he hates his car seat and putting him in it is a battle every time.  He also impersonates Cookie Monster spot on.  It makes me laugh every time he does it. It is hard for me to describe all the wonderful things that he does (minus the incessant screaming when he is fighting a nap) so I will have to try to find some time to upload videos.  It is better to see him in action than to have me try to put him in words.  Maybe they will be up in a couple of months at the rate that I go!
