It's been a few days since my last post. Did ya miss me? Let's see. How about some wee updates for those inquiring minds?
The tail end of last week is a blur...sorry I can help ya there with the details. I'm remembering lots of heat and sun, bike rides, stories, and oh yes! One night, we had some friends over for supper and dutch oven strawberry shortcake out back. That was fun. There was also a rambunctious game of soccer afterwards where Kaden took a header from the soccer ball - I was totally impressed and yelled "AWESOME!" - to which Kev promptly scooped a sobbing Kaden up into his arms and scolded me with a: "It's NOT awesome!" Okay then. He was quite fine; just a wee bit shocked at this thing bouncing off of his head! After the initial fear and minor pain wore off, he was back in the scuffle with the best of us. What a tough little guy! Good times! Mommy was so proud!
On Saturday, we went to Ocean City, New Jersey - our absolute favorite place to go in the summer! The weather was gorgeous - not too hot and slightly overcast for the kids, and we just stayed and played all day. To our pleasant surprise, Jesse ate nary a shell or handful of sand! Also, - NOT to our surprise - he was fearless around the water, so we had to be on our toes the entire time we were there! He took a couple of face plants into the salty water but really didn't seem all that phased. He absolutely loved the freedom to be able to run wherever he wanted, and all throughout the day, he would give handfuls of sand to random people!
And then, yesterday, after a marathon day at church, "the boys" took Kev out to Bugaboo Creek for a Father's Day supper. We had a really great weekend, and we hate to see it end. So, we're contemplating going to pick sour cherries tonight and making a yummy pie to top it all off!

So did you make the pie? That sounds totally scrumptious and reminds me of our cherry trees growing up. You made me laugh with the soccer story. You are such a boy mom! Thanks for the wonderful chat this morning. I love you so much and will keep you posted!
Amy you make me laugh! Your soccer story reminds me of Sunday at church - Nat was playing with pool balls in the fellowship hall, while me, Shan, and others watched and laughed. She was having great fun throwing the heavy balls on the floor and laughing. Then Peter saw it and asked Shan to stop her from doing it. Oh those dads who see no fun in kids getting hit with balls...
that pie sounds amaaaaazing. craving something homemade and delish now but not wanting to move off the sofa. typical.
So, we need more posts. Time to get writing!
