Jacob dancing

This video just made me laugh so hard so I had to post it to the blog.  I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. 
Occasionally, Jacob and I will watch Baby Signing Time, a DVD teaching basic sign language for children.  I hadn't turned it on in over a week and when I did, this is what happened. :)

Independence Day

It is not very often that I get to spend the day doing whatever I want with my husband and baby. I thought about it for several days and realized that there isn't a whole lot you can do when you have a one-year-old who still takes 3 naps! One of our original ideas was to go camping somewhere. We realized quickly that probably wouldn't work so well, since our tent is a VERY SMALL two-man tent. I can just see the three of us trying to get some sleep. That idea was quickly vetoed. The next idea was to go somewhere where we could build a fire and cook a meal. We began to realize that it was already the weekend of the 4th of July. All of the camping spots were reserved. We put on our thinking caps. Where do we always go to build fires and roast smores? EPIC!! We decided to camp where there was a kitchen, air-conditioning, a seperate room where Jacob could nap, and plenty of cool things to see and explore.

We made some tinfoil dinners and grabbed some stuff for smores and headed to EPIC. We were in the circus room with a very nice fireplace and it just happened to be very 4th of Julyish. (Is that even a word?) We had a blast. Despite the wonderful conditions, we still arrived home smelling like we had gone camping. :)
