Okay now that I typed that title, I am seriously craving a good burger from in & out. Well summer is almost here-Smart son has just over a week left of school and it isn't officially summer until you are freed from the school calendar. But, Summer seems too short and it hasn't even begun. I have to take full advantage of opportunity for geographical freedom so we are packing the summer with fun trips. My mom, and my sister and her three kids are coming next weekend- it will be my sister's their first trip to see us, so we will have fun showing them some New England delights. Then i am taking the boys to Virginia for a while to relax and hang out and do a wedding (of course I will return with cake and flower pictures to show my work) . Then we return briefly only to head out on a family vacation to Utah to visit smart daddy-o's family, friends, and my MOFs. After that we recoup and enjoy a little time out home before heading to the beach in North Carolina for our final summer beach extravaganza (dreaming of the food at the blue point and walks along the beach already). We will be busy but when we are home, we will be home. Hanging out doing whatever we feel like doing- enjoying the blissful unstructuredness of summer vacation- going to park, going swimming, reading books, eating ice cream.
There is something about summer that just makes you feel different (and i think even look different)- it is a time for laying on the grass, drinking fresh lemonade, fireworks, sand, ice cream, fresh berries, kissing, playing in the water, air conditioning, and just letting yourself relax (I think I crave it so much because what i have just described is the antithesis of a new england winter). Oh course all this time, I likely be feeling not so hot (as i do usually from 4-11pm) and getting bigger by the day which may slightly tarnish enjoying the true summer experience- but even with all that I can't wait!

Sounds like a great summer - although pregnancy and summer are definitely not a good combo but it's worth it!
I love summer for all the same reasons... there is something so carefree and exhilarating about it!
How exciting!! I want to see some pictures! Especially of your sis and her kids. :) :)
I want to see pictures of you sister and her kids too! I miss that girl! Plus I need to tell her that Blake Boulter is a realtor here in St. George (with his mom and dad too--how crazy is that?!?)
You look beautiful my dear. Hope you are feeling better.
How fun for you and your kids! I can't wait to see pictures (especially since I've never been to New England).
Have a great summer. Stay cute and cool. :p
Just checking in... again. I hope you are doing ok.
