Summer Vacation

I kind of laugh at the title of this post (thought it's really not funny) because Cliff is in the middle of his summer vacation. Summer Vacation=9 days (4 of the 9 being weekend days). He also had a few days off between Spring semester and his first summer session, but you can hardly call that a summer vacation. We've enjoyed having Cliff home! And Cliff has been loving his break. This summer, his classes were particularly grueling. He is working on 2 degrees-JD (his law degree) and a Masters in PFP (Personal Financial Planning). These summer sessions kept him buried in the books, and now he is enjoying burrying himself into books for pleasure (he says it's way different). He made a goal to read one book for enjoyment this week, and he's half way through his second Dirk Pitt novel (600 pages each). He LOVES reading for pleasure, and has taken advantage of that this week off.

And we LOVE having him home! He's been a great help with Stone this week, as I have been extremely busy with work. We went out to lunch yesterday, we've been swimming, we've been glued to the Olympics (see post below), and we've just been chilling.

And here are some random pictures from this week. This first picture is Stone being VERY uncooperative eating his breakfast. He insisted on feeding himself, and this was the result.

Next, you see him trying to feed himself again (below). He pulled off this cereal bowl and spoon from the kitchen tabel (I had just finished my breakfast), and took it in to Cliff and said, "ma-ma-ma! (mas-mas-mas)". Cliff has taught him "mas" for "more". We really want him to learn Spanish growing up.
