Unpacked, Mostly

It was hot today. I miss having the ocean breeze as my constant air conditioner. But I won't complain as it only hit 90 and for only a short while.

I've mostly got everything unpacked and put away. We are still trying to adjust to the time change. I had to drag myself out of bed at 8 and Dan and the boys didn't rouse until almost 9. Thankfully we have a full week before school starts. What?!! Can that be right? In one short week Daniel and Sammy will be off to school? Daniel a second grader and Sammy his first year of school? I am still a little sad/depressed about the whole thing. You know me and how I don't like change.

So we are slowing getting back into the groove of things. But I still am missing this:

And this:And today I could've really gone for one of these:

12 Years

It is hard to believe that 12 years ago today Dan and I got married. That seems like such a long time. I mean 12 years! I was just 23. But it has gone by in a blink.

Thanks for 12 wonderful years, baby! Looking forward to many, many, many more! Love you forever and always...

Little Swimmers

I love being able to walk to the pool. One of the many things I love about where I live. We have been able to go up to the pool quite often this summer and the boys have improved in their swimming so much. Sammy, who didn't even like to put his head under the water a month or so ago, is now jumping in and learning how to swim. And Daniel was able to swim from one side of the pool to the other (the short way) all by himself today. How cool is that?
