Summer is here!  Actually we are a full 12 days into summer here in our little corner of the world.  And, we have yet to really hit any kind of routine and that’s OK.  It’s summer.  That’s the beauty of it!

For Mama and Papa, summer looks like this:  wake up in the a.m.  have coffee.  enjoy quiet time.  Make sure oldest kiddo is up for work.  Make breakfast/lunch and go to work.  That’s it.  No dragging people out of bed.  No breakfast orders.  Clothing searches.  Homework retrieval.  It’s glorious!!!

As the summer marches on, our girls will each babysit for friends and neighbors throughout the summer as well as hang with friends and our oldest daughter will be working on knocking out her first part of her online course requirement for high school.

Our sons will work.  One full-time and the other part-time and juggling beach, friends and girlfriend and working on time management skillz—a dire need and constant struggle.

Vacation is less than a month away and while we are super excited, my mind is also starting to spin a little with packing and all that stuff that goes with preparing to be away from home for 2 weeks!

It’s all good, though!  All good.  Happy summer!!
