Summer

Summer seems to be fully settling in. No more back and forth between early spring drizzle and tourturous heat wave. There are few things that truly say "Summer" to my heart





I hope you find plenty of time this weekend to show your heart and your family that it truly is Summer. Toes in the sand, strawberry shortcake, firefly catching, cookouts, camping, the smell of sunscreen, drive-in movies.... what says "Summer" to you?

You may notice that the boys got new blog nicknames or "blognames". These fun titles are a blogging mom's way of telling herself that she is not exposing her family to any internet dangers because she is not using real names. My guys got new blognames today. Not that The Legalist is any less legalistic or The Boss is any less of a pint-sized micro-manager... but Bear and Bug roll off the tongue a bit better :)
