finally!

it's me! i cannot believe how quickly summer is flying by. it seems like school got out just yesterday and we are already contemplating (or dreading) school shopping. we had a great visit with dad and mom the weekend of father's day. the girlies keep begging to go back. we have gotten messy doing art, seen frogs eating crickets end even made homemade strawberry jam. in the midst of all this life stuff, somehow i have managed to miss birthdays (SO SORRY!!) and acquire a terrifying mountain of laundry. i'm sure that you'll be relieved to know that gilli still wears her zucchini and madi has her times tables memorized. we are soaking up summer! i hope your summer is going joyfully and messily enough to suit you all. LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!! :)
