Summer! You're here! I've missed you!

It's summertime! Whoo hooo! For it a minute there, I thought it wasn't going to arrive, but it did and we are ALL glad. The last couple weeks of school almost did me in, but I finished on Friday morning and I am ready to let the summer sun wash some of the stress away. I haven't taken many pictures lately, but here are a few.

Lucy likes to pull the comforter off her bed and make a "beaver home" for us. Then she likes to pretend to put us all to bed. I have no idea where she comes up with some of this stuff.

Pete went to Boston with his dad and brother last week. He was gone for six days and had lots of fun, but we sure did miss him. He brought presents home for the kids ... Lucy got these cute bee slippers and a lobster shirt that says "I'm a keepah!"

Sofie got lobster slippers that are a bit too small, but we squeezed them on for a picture.

Sofie still isn't walking, but is getting really close. She can stand up by herself from a sitting or crawling position. She has taken a couple of steps, but not much more - this girl likes to be held and I think she's smart enough to know that if she can walk we might put her down from time to time. :)

Pete got me these gorgeous flowers on my last day of school. Lucy picked them out and I am absolutely in love with this bouquet. It is so pretty - I can't capture it in a picture.

This is what we are doing right now ... early Sunday morning ... Lucy is watching "Syd the Science Kid" and I am catching up on the blog. Tonight, dinner with Jerry (our co-worker), tomorrow strawberry picking with another coworker, Lex. Ah, summer - LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. Of course, if you asked me in an interview why I stay in education, I will say to have a positive impact on the lives of the next generation, but ... come on, the fact that summer ROCKS has something to do with it too!

Finally, this video is for Uncle Matt:
