Summertime!

Summer is here!  And oh, how I love summer!
I love the sunshine, I love the heat, I love going to the pool.
I love the way my little boys smell when they come inside at the end of a hot day. Sunscreen and sweat mixed with chlorine.
I love the smell of fresh-cut grass and flowers blooming.

Jackson, Cole, and I have spent the last two afternoons at the pool, and we are loving it.
Jackson pretty much picked up where he left off last summer, and was ready to go off the diving board right away.
And Cole loves the water, and I am chasing him around much of our time there.
Even better than that, this afternoon both boys fell asleep on the way home from the pool-and slept for almost 1.5 hours!!
I am hoping for repeat performances much of the summer.



"Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling.
