Long hot days of summer...when will they end??

It has been SOOOO hot here, as I know it has been almost everywhere lately. There have been a couple of short breaks here and there, but then it ultimately ends up being more hot and humid after that than ever.

My oldest started school back on the 1st and my life is once again back and forth carpooling all day. Then, on top of that, my youngest has learned how to get out of his crib. Naps have virtually disappeared over the past two weeks. I feel like I am living in someone else's home all of a sudden, but I know that like everything, this, too, shall pass.

Here are a few LO's that I have done lately. Credits can be found at my SBB Gallery




Journaling reads: You have enjoyed the pool so much this summer. The first couple of times we went in you weren’t quite sure what to think, but it didn’t take long for you to figure out
that swimming was pretty fun. You would watch
Noah going underwater and swimming and, like
everything else you see him do, youwanted
to swim too. Daddy started being a little too
adventurous for your comfort, so Mama
became your swimming partner of
choice. Youwould cling to me saying
“No hold Daddy. . . hold you”.
Gradually you got more and
more comfortable in the water.
You would hold just my arms,
then just my hands and now
just my fingers. You will let
me turn you onto your
back and you kick your
legs like crazy. We never
stopped letting Daddy
take his turn holding
you though, and while
I won’t say it is your
“favorite” thing to do,
you will let him hold
you up in the air
several times and
then dunk you
completely
underwater for a
second. You even
come out with a big
SMILE on your face!
I expect that by next
summer you will be
swimming even better
. . . maybe even without
holding on.

You are our little

FISH

in the making!



Thanks for looking!

Gee...has it been THAT long???

I haven't posted anything over here in weeks! WOW...didn't realize how slack I was getting.

It has been really busy though. School started back this week, so along with battling the crowds at Walmart for school supplies,I was also planning a sleepover party for Noah as his birthday was Sunday. He had two friends over to see Pirates of the Caribbean II, swimming, and then a sleepover. It was fun though and he is somewhat glad that he's back at school with his friends.

I have scrapped a few pages that I would like to share. Please see my SBB Gallery for credits.






Journaling reads: You signed up for soccer camp this summer and although you weren’t a seasoned player at the end of the week, I was so proud of you for trying something new, not letting what others may see as “failures” stop you from giving it your all and continuing to try and try again to score.



Thanks for looking. Maybe I will post a lot quicker next time, LOL.
