Summer Days

Time has slipped away and I find a whole month has gone by with no blogging.  Most days I just try to keep up with the necessities and everything else just falls away.  I’m still having difficulty giving up the unnecessary things: a clean house, time to work on a personal project, browsing a store.  My days are filled with feeding, napping, and changing diapers for the kids.  I’m challenged to remember that these early years will fly by like the wind, and one day I’ll look back on them and wish they could return even with all the sleep deprived nights.

Some highlights from the last month include celebrating our seven year anniversary at the Portland City Grill, Desmond’s third birthday, a visit with Grandma Bettie, and Kaylynn reaching the three month mark.

I find it easier to stay home when I can.  There’s always someone who needs to eat or sleep - often it’s me!  We’ve also been enjoying some of the warm weather lately.  The kiddie pool never warmed up enough for Kaylynn but she looks cute in her swimsuit anyway.collage1
