the good life


oh sweet summer. 
right now we are enjoying summer to the fullest. farmer's market, snow cones, pool, bike rides, playground, grilling, staying up late, windows rolled down, picnics... love it all. summer really is the best time. and we are soaking up as much as possible. the winter of '10-'11 was the winter that wouldn't end. but it has been absolutely GORGEOUS the last few days. can't get enough of it.

other than joe working a ton, and me wrangling the kids all day and enjoying every minute (ha) not a ton going on. i have a sweet friend who is a dance instructor who offered to do a dance class for a few girls claire's age once a week. the first class was this week and claire loved every second of it. it is so perfect for claire because she gets to do it with her friends, who she loves. so lucky to have a talented friend and lots of cute kids around!

did i mention the bubbers is a walking machine? he does more an more each day. scary. but so fun. it seems every parent wants their kid to walk and not be the last to have their kid walking.... that will never be my kids. fun and not fun at the same time. i just hate the stupid baby gate. i guess they aren't stupid because they keep the kids safe, but my shins? not so much. and claire likes to climb over it.... but then gets stuck. 

oh that girl. little dare devil that one. she needs swim lessons..... i just keep putting it off. she has no problem just jumping into the pool. she would much rather have floaties on, but if she doesn't want to leave the pool and i've taken them off, she WILL jump back in without them. like she did the other day..... lucky i knew it was coming so i could grab her. yikes. that girl is SASSY. love her to death though. most nights we go through our little routine and its quick and i'm out and shut her door. but  last night i just couldn't get enough of her, and i had to drag myself out of her room. she was pretty sleepy, but was being so sweet and gave as many kisses as i asked for. she is growing up waaaaaay too fast. 

off to enjoy some more summer.

Can't wait to spend some "summer" with you guys...but I don't want to rush what the rest of August brings :) We need video of the little man walking- or we need to skype.
