The kids are all still sound asleep on one of the few days we actually get to sleep in this summer. Beginning Monday, Catherine and Thomas have morning swim practice (in addition to daily evening practice) from 8-9. No sleeping in happening here! It makes me tired just to think about it! I slept until about 8:30 this morning and I'm enjoying the quiet. Andrew had to go in and finish up just a couple of things and then he is home as well. I love the more laid back pace of life...if something doesn't happen today it can happen tomorrow! If one day is crazy the busy the next day is likely to be blank...these are all things I am looking forward to this summer. I feel like our summers have been disappointing the last couple of years so I'm trying to keep my expectations low. It's not that they have been bad summers, I think I just had unrealistic expectations. My goal for the summer is to just enjoy the kids, even if we aren't in the throws of a long stretch of relaxation...it can still be fun!
We have a fun weekend to get things going. This evening is the retirement party of one of Andrew's colleagues. Tomorrow my in-laws arrive for Robert's Sunday morning confirmation, and we will be joined at church by Robert's and Thomas's godparents. My family will come down for the cook-out to follow, and it should be a very nice day (in spite of the yucky weather forecast). Last evening we attended graduation, and it's just so hard to believe in three very short years it will be our turn to experience that as a family. Not looking forward too far today though...just going to enjoy this one!
