thankful friday

this weather. while it's more springlike and the first july we still don't have our a/c on yet, AND while it's going to make this summer zoom by even faster because we never get to the lake or get to complain about the 3Hs and what's summer without those?. -it is nice.

my purple flowers that the deer do not eat. note to self: get the salvia you saw in costco next year.



the boys' independence compared to years past. aiden and brady get (& put back) their own bikes and put on their own helmets and colin gets his own tee, ball and bat dozens of times a day. without. my. help.

half day camps. we have 3 weeks coming up for aiden.

brady wanting his training wheels off. they're back on for long bike rides but we'll see how it goes.

aiden reading to us. one of the top ten sweetest sounds ever.

neighborhood kids.

poor pictures from our sunprints from a week or so ago.
