Praise the Lord!

We had a very nice 4th of July. It's a special day... the feast of Blessed Pier Giorgio, who Jonah's middle name comes from. We went to a neighbor's house for a little BBQ, and in the afternoon I worked outside a little bit. Last night the three of us went out to dinner at Chili's in Naples. It was a wonderful day!

Here you can see the three new bushes I've planted to replace some of our ugly dying ones. The new ones are the two colorful ones next to the tree and then the one closest to the bottom left corner of the picture- that one has beautiful yellow flowers, but it looks like only one of them has bloomed so far.

This is when you know the weeds have gotten out of control...

Toward the heights! :)

Getting ready to head to Naples for dinner

Jonah read up a little on the guy he was named after

And he played some games with Mommy

This needs some explaining. Grammy (Luke's Mom) has this thing she's done with all of her grandchildren when they're babies. She holds up their hands, and instead of saying "Soooooo big" she says "Praise the Lord!" We've done it so many times with Jonah that now he puts his hands up when you just say the words. Here's a picture to prove it.

He still loves his ducky that he got from Grandma Dougoveto.

Here's more of Praise the Lord. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!
