Wow, I just had such a great day. Becca, Jacob and Aiden came to visit. I love 2 year olds. Aiden and I had a great day playing a game, reading books, playing outside with the ball and Aiden helped me cook dinner. Aiden likes to cut zucchini. Actually everyone worked together to make dinner. (We had scrambled eggs with wurst not a fancy Sunday dinner but I liked it. I like any meal better if I have help making and cleaning it.) Becca is lucky to have a Jacob who is willing to work hard in the kitchen! If I were good at this blogging thing I would have a photo of Aiden working so hard with his butter knife to cut zucchini and tomatoes with a butter knife. Maybe next time!

Summer's over

Aiden blows kisses to Grandma
Luckily Aiden is close enough to keep my days fun.
Chris on his way to his first day of high school

Every summer I used take all of my winter clothes and pack them into boxes and carry them out to storage. I don't take the time to store winter clothes anymore because I blink and summer is over. Summer flew so quickly by this year that I don't feel like it came. I love summer. I love wearing sandals instead of shoes, short sleeves and Capri pants instead of long confining sleeves and pants. I love warm. I love the roads staying clear so I can drive anywhere with out worrying about slick or foggy roads. Most of all, I love summer because my kids are home with me all day. Summer means no worries of homework, dark cold early mornings, extra peer pressure or school. But... summer ended and school started. Chris has soccer practice and games until late. Terry has been spending many evenings in Bishopric meeting as a new counselor. Our ward split so he is attending extra meetings to deal with staffing and care for members. So ...I am spending school days and many evenings alone. I need a new hobby so I will ramble again.
