We're not dead, just really tired

Last week I saw the mother of one of Matthew's preschool friends who asked, "Are you having a relaxing summer?"  No, no and no.  Fun, yes, but not what I describe as relaxing.  Relaxing would be me sitting alone in a cabana on a Maui beach getting a foot massage and drinking something other than Capri Sun--for the better part of a month.

We have been active in the almost 100 degree weather and it feels like summer, no doubt.  We do have some photographic documentation of our non-relaxing summer which I'll post as soon as I get a night to "relax". 

Overall though, I have to say that it's been everything summer should be.  It reminds me of my carefree summers as a child and makes me wonder how Laura Knarr ever withstood the number of wee folk wanting to swim who trickled into her house daily like a leaky faucet.  Bless her soul for my childhood memories of summer.
