Summer Fun

Wow!  We have been out of school less than two weeks and have done more together as a family than we have the past two summers.  Two years ago, I spent most of my summer in bed, my bedroom or at the cancer clinic.  Hard to have family time when you are under going chemo. Last year, we were busy preparing to move South.  So again, hard to have FUN with the family when packing up a house and NOT looking forward to leaving a place we have grown to love.  Most of the time I spent preparing Andrew and Anna for public school and the mindset to have.

We started summer with a trip to the beach, Alan has grilled several meals and we have eaten outside in our beautiful backyard and yes, the cows are still around. The kids have been swimming, we have gone to a couple of "Spurs" watch parties, and we have had dinner and a movie night as a family.  We spend a lot of time as a family when we go to church in San Antonio.  We have even had a "few" stay in our pajama days and just rest as a family.  We have gotten out old board games that were mine as a kid and played.  Our new family favorite is "Clue."  We have baked cookies, cakes and tried out new recipes.  Today, we are going to make ice cream.

We have many, many more events planned for the summer.  Some big and some small.  Most importantly, we are making memories that will last.

I saw Andrew pushing Anna.......I thought it was so sweet.
