Clothes Line

OK, it isn't a line, it's a deck rail, but during the summer it becomes a clothes line for all of our towels and swimsuits. I'm just delighted to have all of this color and haphazard trunks thrown on it. I LOVE SUMMER! I love the sun, the heat and I even love a yard with with water guns left all over the it! Yes, it was hard to focus on schoolwork. At the same time it was a good incentive to concentrate and be efficient on our work in order to be able to take it . . .

. . . OUTSIDE!!

This was also a week where we were able to visit with our cousins and be amazed at how much the little ones have grown. One can really tell how time passes when you see the milestones these little ones accomplished while we were gone. The boys were amazed that Levi was walking already. The last time we saw he wasn't even crawling! I think that was the first time they realized how much time we really were gone!

Good think he is still young enough for some good cuddling and a bottle! Adrianna has also grown so much and is now sitting all by herself. The boys not only enjoyed playing with her but also with all of those "cool" baby toys, there is certainly not one of those left in our house.

And Nolan summoned it up pretty well.

"Her eyes are such sharp blue!" I agree!
