The Vakakes Family: Back in Business!

Back in Business!

Please excuse the brief hiatus in blogging. We have been busy....a good busy! I LOVE that I get to play stay-at-home mom for a few months. It has been good for my soul to spend lazy mornings with my boys and have John find us at the end of his work day still in our pjs! We have met up with friends for lunch, trips to the zoo, splash pad, pool, etc. We have celebrated our baby boys first birthday, taken a week long vacay to the beach with my whole family, and now I am just trying to soak up these last few weeks of summer before the real world slaps me in my face and it is back to work I go! The main reason the blog has taken a hit since school was out is that I had to leave my laptop at school so that they could do some major upgrading. I have just gotten it back this morning and am having a blast while Alex sleeps answering emails, posting to facebook, and now updating the blog from a COMPUTER!! Phones and iPads are nice, but I am much faster on a computer!
I honestly don't know where the summer has gone. After we returned from the beach, I feel like the days have been put into fast forward....I made a little summer bucket list for me and mainly Will....we better get busy!! I find that I am very good at pinning countless things on Pinterest late at night, however actually making those awesome ideas bear fruit is easier said than done. I have many things I'd like to do with Will and Alex before August 13th! A month from tomorrow....it will be here before we know it!
Here are a few random pics that provide a glimpse into our summer...I'll be back soon with pics from the beach!

Cool Dude!

What we do around here for entertainment when we get bored....
