Sweetness

Powell and I were working in the yard this morning trimming, pulling weeds, etc. After a while I noticed I was working alone. So I found the munchkin in the corner of the yard having breakfast. Fresh grapes off the vine. Life doesn't get much better.

Oh, What Do You Do In the Summertime

When I was young almost every summer day was spent in our backyard pool with my brothers and sister. My brother, Mark, could do the best tricks off the diving board, and we made up some pretty fun games. "Shark" is still my all time favorite.
Now that I have kids we're lucky enough to use grandma's pool whenever we want. (Thanks Cheryl!!!!) I hope my kids have the same fun memories of being together on these lazy summer days.

Things

Most husbands get their wives things for their birthdays. Things like jewelry, clothes, appliances, cards you name it they're all things. This year I got a real Thing! I've had a thing for Things since our honeymoon in Mexico. Apparently so does Darin, so this year he decided to make it more than just a thing. It has now moved into the garage and we can see each other on a regular basis. Rust, dents and all. Oh baby!
