Summertime


According to the calendar it is the first official day of summer   We've been at it for a few weeks in this household!  There are two sides to the lazy days of summer coin.  I find the lack of structure can be both relaxing and stressful!  My childhood memories of summer were full of days at the pool and trying new things at camp and I love to see my kids enjoy the new activities and experiences of the season.

The Gratitude List goes on ...

011
Melting ice cream cones.

012
Kit's first swim team meet ... ever.

013
The angst surrounding said meet being overcome by the joy of achievement.

014
Water slides.

015
Cannonball joy jumps into the pool.

016
Breakfast for dinner.

017
The longest day of the year.

018
Sun kissed faces.

019
The fun of newfound summer friendships and the faithfulness of the long held ones.

020
Watching the pollywogs grow legs in our kitchen.

Little Swift ditching the swimmies for the very first time.

022
Lemonade and ice tea ... every day.

Tutus, roses and curtsies to end a year of Ballet

  1. Ah! I recognize that shot from our photo walk. :) I don't know if I've already said this, but I really enjoyed meeting you and hope to continue to get to know you through your blog.

    By the way... I took a look at your old blog a while ago. What an amazing opportunity to live in a place like that. I bet you miss it.
