Welcome Summer!

Though my to-do list sat lonely and forlorn this weekend, we ushered in this summer with some great time spent outdoors. A walk by the Fox River, some weeding (that doesn't qualify as a great time...just time), a few walks around the neighborhood, an exciting All-Star game, and a refreshing trip to the waterpark. In the past I've thought that the changes in temperature and season are somewhat lost on me since I work indoors and don't spend much time outside even on the weekends, but I guess having kids changes that a little bit. I think we'll be spending a lot more time outside this summer. (Hint: time outside = tired kids)

Happy Birthday Lisa!

I ate lots of cake and ice cream in honor of you. Also, Hazel gave me some drool for you.

Each ponytail makes Daniel exponentially more intelligent, giving him the ability to read several books simultaneously
