Happy First Day of Summer!!!

Although the weather this week has been a chance of rain, we actually have been very lucky and it hasn't rained much. We are wrapping up our first week of summer vacation and have been blessed by the weather and very busy.

Last weekend Lovey had a piano recital and Littlebit had a dance recital on the same day. It made it busy, but worked out just great. Nana, Grandpa, and Grandma were able to come see both recitals! Both kids did a fantastic job! It was so nice to spend some time with Nana. The kids love when she comes to visit and it had been such a long time since we had seen her.

The kids and I were hoping to pick strawberries this week, but with a prediction of rain everyday this week we didn't and then it didn't rain. Hopefully next week, but it is supposed to rain then too. We might end up buying them from the farm stand. 

We made our summer list last night and hung it on the door. The kids want to go camping, pick berries, go for a bike ride, go to a Mariner's game, have a BBQ with friends, and many other things. I have my own summer list. I want to get our house painted, finish painting the trim in the house (a project started 3 years ago, YIKES!), paint a desk and end table from craigslist. I would love to sew Littlebit a dress and catch up on my scrapbooks.

And relax! I am doing well on the relaxing part. I have already read three books and am halfway through my fourth. So far Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks has been my favorite. Not something I would normally pick up, but so glad that I did.
