Whew. Summer. is. here. The sun is blazing and the temperatures are rising to over 100. But I'm not complaining. We've had relatively mild summer weather for the past few weeks and I am grateful for that. In fact, Wednesday felt more like spring -- cool and breezy. I actually drove with the windows down (something I never do) and the kids loved it. Annabelle was giggling with delight as her hair blew across her face. "This is SO FUN!" she exclaimed. Jacob wore a smile the whole ride. I love that something as simple as riding in the car with the windows down can bring such joy. It's the little things in life....
The past few weeks have certainly been an adventure for all of us -- a fun-filled, action-packed, busy, busy, busy, but very rewarding adventure. I am working at our church summer camp...all day, five days a week. So, Jacob and Annabelle are at summer camp too...all day, five days a week. I'm not gonna lie. It's been quite an adjustment for all of us. But, I think we're starting to settle into the routine. Annabelle has had to bid farewell to her three hour long afternoon nap. Now her afternoons are filled with activities. It's a little tough for her to handle, but she's a trooper. She typically falls asleep three seconds after I buckle her car seat to go home and doesn't wake up until the next morning. Jacob's having a blast. He's made several new friends who are just as into Star Wars and LEGOS as he is. ( I have a class of 16, 10 of which are boys.) Since Tuesdays and Thursdays are beach days at summer camp, we've already been to the beach more times than we usually go all summer long. We go on a field trip each Wedsneday. Jacob loves that. He loves riding on the church bus. Actually, ALL the kids love riding on the church bus. Getting there truly is half the fun.
So, our summer is and will continue to be busy. And I expect this blog will continue to be somewhat neglected. It's not that I don't have anything to write about. Oh, I could share a million stories. But finding the time to share those stories is proving to be difficult. But, I'll do my best to get one in...here and there...along with a few pictures. :) Happy Summer!
