Summer 2011

Hello friends, fans and family! It'd be pretty tough to top the fantastic that Michael and the girls created (see earlier post) so I'll just give a brief update on our summer so far:

We rented a camper and went camping or "boating" as our friends called it. My sister referred to our luxury accommodation(not) as a "Glamper". Although dry and had a fridge, there was nothing glamorous about our camper!
It was old and ugly but it got us through some gross wet camping!




Lots of friends and fam made it out to visit us which was really nice.




Best marshmallow ever toasted 2011


... next year.. next year.. and we'll go in August again to catch the really awesome meteor shower and hopefully some nicer weather!

Maeve and Madigan are doing really well in their swimming programs. They have just completed Swim Kids 1(Madigan) and Swim Kids 2(Maeve) The swimming program is a little more expensive than we would have liked but it does mean that I don't have to sit at one of our community center pools for 2.5 hours. I'll pay it for the convenience alone! Plus the girls had a really really great instructor! I've enrolled them again the first week of August!


New bathing suit cover's I've fashioned because I'm brazilliant! Note this is not a padded room but a padded elevator someone was moving out of our building!


Michael and I agreed (yes, yes it is true) that the carpet MUST come up in our home... couldn't have come sooner because our Dr discovered that Maeve has some sort of allergy and moving the carpet can only ease her symptoms so thats good. We are in a holding pattern over the floor work because we have to do some pretty significant kitchen work to open it up. I'm really excited for the work to be done but of course it will be mostly weekend work. Maybe some family members want to come over and expedite the situation cough*Don & Jason* cough... I give Brodie a reprieve because of all the amazing work he is doing for his own place!

The summer is flying past and pretty soon I will be back at work. For that though, believe it or not I'm pretty excited! I'll be teaching a 3/4 Monday-Thursday am preschool class and a friday only parent participation class for 2 year olds! I'm pretty sure my head while be full grey this time next year!

In 2 weeks we'll be headed to the Island to visit Gramma Luvvie, Make & Saige Winter and Coorad... we sure do love us some cousins!

August 5,6,7 we'll be hanging out with Jacob and Mr Up In Everything Jaden... We'll be spending the night out at Gramma Susies so we can help watch the boys while she is at work. Sara will be attending CougarTown 2011.

Then... duh duh duhhhhhh back to work the last 2 weeks of August!
