Those Crazy Days of Summer!

So much going on at our Home on the Hill! We are all doing well, though. We have spent a lot of time time swimming in the pool which has been a sanity saver during those "3H" days! (Hazy Hot and Humid)

PLUS....

~ Edmund spent a week at Cub Scout Day Camp, Topher spent 2 weeks at Pre-School Half Day Camp, and Charles spent a very special week getting some quality one on one mom time.

~ Chris and I celebrated 12 years of wedded bliss!

~ We spent a very laid back weekend visiting my sister-in-law and her family. (The boys always love to see their cousins.)

~ We spent 4 days in the woods, living in a tent and cooking over an open fire. Four days just didn't seem long enough!

~ I spent an afternoon with my 3 boys plus 3 more boys. My girlfriend was left in a baby sitting lurch. What a blast it was to have a house full of boys!

~ We had a few couples over for a Tropical themed "Cocktails and Appetizers Night". Good food, good drink, and good friends!


Details on all of this and more to come! (Plus pictures and a few recipes, too!)

*****

By the way, I want to thank all of who emailed me about my friend. She had her her mastectomy and is recovering nicely. Thanks for your thoughts!

Also, thank you Chris for emailing me about my long blog absence. It meant a lot to me and was the much needed kick in the pants to take a few minutes to post an update. Sorry about the rambling email in which I griped and complained about something so stupid. It was early and I was having one of those days.
