Half down, half to go........Summer months are just melting away.

I can't believe that school starts in 4 1/2 weeks. Count me in as the mom that dreads the start of the school year. We have been having so much summer fun. Uncle Bob, Auntie Marta and baby Max are visiting us and have been joining us on all sorts of day hikes, swimming and fun. Temps have been in the high 80's (100's in Sac. while we were there for soccer, I am such a HEAT WEENIE) and it has been just beautiful here. We have been at the pool, Fallen Leaf Lake (many times LOL), and made the little hike to Angora the other day. Ty swam across Angora Lake and BACK...... with Andy and Bryce in a kayak next to him for support. YAY TY-TY!! We also got to discover a place in Kirkwood California called the "Potholes". It is where the Consumnes River flows over tons of huge boulders and creates swimming holes on a beautiful mountain. Kids enjoyed seeing something new and I got some good photos. On the way back, Andy and Bryce tossed thier fishing poles in Kirkwood Lake but had to leave empty handed. Ty is taking DRIVERS ED! Already and is counting the days until he gets his permit. He may be joining Uncle Jason in Bellingham for a scuba dive or two the end of August. Bryce is back to training and we have professional soccer coaches for a private camp next week in Tahoe. (should be fun, it cost the team 1000.00 ) We partied it up in Fairfield last weekend and discovered some amazing swim spots along the American River on the way home. Addy has had a few sleepovers and is just lovin' on Uncle Bob during his visit. I am sure some tears will be shed upon his departure.
Summer dreams to you all...........come visit........
Love Janelle

I figured that it would either be really, really good OR, really, really bad...........it was good!! Congrats on getting your license.

So much for a snails pace.

So, I don't know about you, but life around here seems to be snowballing for us. Faster....faster....faster. It seems the minute I turn around, one of our children is reaching yet another milestone in their lives. I try to relish the moment but so many times, it doesn't seem like we celebrate often enough some of lifes important memories or take note of some of the special messages we should be learning from our children. I am going to try to slow down a bit this month to focus a little more. (yes, it will be hard for me to slow down but I know it needs to be done.)
