Summer is Here!

We have had a cool last month. Normally we are in the 80s and 90s and instead we've been having mostly grey skies and were stuck in the 60s with some 70s. The end of this week, however, things finally heated up.

Yesterday afternoon I took the kids swimming. Man, they had a blast! Big Sis got James to wear a "floatie," which is her word for a small inflatable pool tube, and they were both out there paddling by themselves (with me hovering close by) in the middle of a crowded, splashing pool. A first!

Big Sis was a very good coach. She loved it too. I wish I could have taken a zillion pictures, but safety first!

Then when we got home, we found that Dad made it back early from work. He wanted to take us all out to dinner at our local family diner, so we did. We ate outside on the patio, and it was a lovely summer evening. James pretty much sat with us at the table (it's hard to get him to sit still) and our daughter was able to use the bathroom by herself. More firsts!

I feel like summer is finally here!
