Long Time




I cannot believe it has been a few weeks since I have posted anything. I knew I had been busy, but did not realize it had been so long. We have had friends in town, the end of the school year and now violin camp on top of a very busy work schedule. Oh, and a few holidays and birthday's, and asthma flare ups. Good times, good times.

Violin camp has been an experience. Some of these young kids have phenomenal talent and really are wonderful musicians. But, instead of really enjoying all the music and different classes, I have been the bathroom runner for the younger kids. Out of 16 kids, I am the only mom that has stayed the whole day with my child. Which means when a child has to use the restroom, I get that fabulous chore since the teacher cannot stop teaching and the classes are in an old high school and they don't want kids getting lost.

But why should I be surprised that all the difficult, and poorly behaved kids parents drop and run??? They are obviously smarter then I.

I am smiling on the inside though, because there is a young boy there who I believe has Asperger's and is just cute as can be. I swear I am magnetically attracted to these kids. I can find them right off and I love watching and interacting with them. They truly are a gift to this world if people will take a minute, and have patience to understand them.

A Fish, A Fish!

So, in the 12+ years I have known my husband, I have never known him to actually catch a fish. He of course says he has caught hundreds of fish, with the number of fish and the size of the fish growing exponentially with each recall.

But tonight........he actually caught a fish, and I saw it with my own eyes and had to document this occasion.
Pulling the cat fish out
The yucky part, taking the hook out
His cat fish catch
So proud

The Season of Fun!

The season of fun has begun! Because.......they are back!! Our friends that live across the country are back for a month. Carson has his best buddy back, Adeline has her crafty friend back, and of course, I have my friend back. We have had food a plenty, and snow cones by the pool. Doesn't get much better then that!!!

The boys ended up with pirate swim trunks, not even planned
