Lately

Summer started early in the Asp house. Spencer finished pre-school last week and so he has been expecting to be amused this week in the usual summer ways - swimming, picnics, bike riding, and all that kind of thing. I'm tired!


Today at the pool. Nathan is wearing his coastguard approved *nudge nudge wink wink * swimming suit and Spencer is wearing his expensive prescription goggles which the ophthalmologist convinced Gary that Spencer couldn't swim without. Why didn't I take him to his appointment that day?

Me with my impossibly good natured boy

Feeding the cow some grass which she has plenty of on her side of the fence but must just taste better if it's offered to you by the eager little hands of 5 and 3 year old boys

Me again. At least there's that gorgeous tow head to look at instead. He's sporting brand new glasses which are exactly the same as his last pair but without the scratches and snapped screw. Pity they cost the same as well!

Today

Today was a pretty perfect day. This morning we prepared for a picnic in the park, and then attended it. It went off without a hitch. Everyone seemed to have a good time, especially the kids. They were exhausted by bedtime which just means silence all evening. Gary and I can crash and watch TV, read, and enjoy each other's company. My favorite kind of evening! Below are a few highlights I managed to capture during all the busyness.

Talking on the phone to Grandma is WAY more fun if you climb into a tree to do it!

I am in love with the Clematis climbing all over my back gate. I only wish it would last all summer. I thought I better capture how beautiful it is before it's gone for another year.

I am so lucky to have not one or two, but three superheroes to protect me. Nathan told me as I dressed him for bed that "Superheroes save the day".

My little graduate!
