Oh happy day!

Oh happy day!
I have a computer! I can check my email... in less than 10 minutes! I have pictures of my favorite people...... I cannot express how grateful I am to have all my pics in one place again. I feel like I've got so much to catch up on. I might just randomly post pictures... it will feel so good!
Mike went to scout camp last week, we get him home for a bit... then lose him again for a while. We had the 'overview' conversation last night as we were going to bed. Sure enough, we are busy with stuff EVERYDAY he is home. Bummer!
I have a situation I want to vent about, but I'm really trying my darndest to hold off a bit. It has to do with construction... my basement flooding... lots of money... way too much time... and a serious idiot. I've been trying to look at the positive aspects of the situation, and I want to wait until it is complete before I decide how I feel about it. If only it could be completed?! In what world does 1 1/2 weeks mean 4 weeks?!!!
On a brighter note... I LA-LA-LOVE SUMMER!!!No seriously, words cannot describe the happiness I have for this season. Today is officially the first day of it, and I want to scream it from the rooftops!
I LOVE having my kids home, spending all day together. Sleeping in, eating fruit, turning my ceiling fans on, opening all my windows at night... I feel like Julie Andrews "these are a few of my favorite things!"
My dear friend introduced us to the best swimming pool in the valley.
We are forever thankful to her! Ironically, we went on Friday and she was there... kinda funny.
I went to the Parade of Homes, my very most favorite birthday gift every year! I saw a couple of houses this year I'll never forget. Great ideas... now I just need the money.
Father's Day was wonderful! We were just happy to have a Father on Father's Day. Usually he's out-of-town for work, so we were happy to have him home. As a kid/teenager... we didn't go to church on Father's Day. (It was a boycotted holiday) So I must admit it's been nice to look forward to celebrating Mike every year. He's an amazing Dad, and loves his girls beyond measure. We are so lucky to have him!

*Just a little nugget...
This morning Sophie came into my room as I was taking off my pajamas. She paused, looked at me and said "Mom, I want to watch you get dressed... but don't worry, I won't laugh at you!" Wow... thanks. "That's nice of you" was my response. Nothing like some fresh honesty to get the morning started!
