Busy as a bee....

Well friends, for the past few weeks we have been SUPER busy! Here are some highlights of what we have been up to lately

• We spent Memorial weekend with some friends on the lake. It was J-man's first boat ride. :)

• After Memorial Day weekend, we left for a week at the beach with my parents, my brother and his wife, and my sister!

• One night on the trip we all sat around and ate some yummy food, watched my sister perform a monologue for us, had a mini dance party, and played a serious game of ERS...it's a card game. :) Look it up!

• Then we spent a week watching 4 of the most precious children we know! I was a momma to 5 kiddos for the week and LOVED it! Am I crazy?! I would love for Adam and I to have a house full of our own one day. My favorite conversation with one of the kids from the week went as follows:                                                                                                                               

          Her: You know, you remind me a lot of my mom.                                                                     

          Me:  (smile, sigh, and feel deeply touched) Why do you say that?

          Her: I don't know. I guess it's because you like to get on your computer, and so does     

                    my mom.

          Me:  (well, isn't that nice.)  Oh really? That's why I remind you of your mom?

          Her:  Yeah, but there's another reason.

          Me: (totally expecting to hear something profound and moving) Yeah?

          Her:  Most mornings my mom doesn't usually wear make-up or fix her hair either.

          Me:  (Oh).  Thanks dear. You are so sweet.

This is the whole gang eating dinner one night...

• And since today is Father's Day, I thought I'd (publicly) say Happy Dad day to the two greatest dads I know. :) Love you both!
