Where to begin??

Well we are still in kitchen remodel misery....the tile is done and the kitchen guy and electrician made some (not so obvious to the eye) progress. Cupboards are going in this week!!! Can't wait to see how they look against the floor. We love the tile that we chose. It is scary taking one 13x13 tile and hoping that it looks good when 575 square feet are laid down! Yes, you read that right, 575 square feet. Mudroom, half bath, kitchen, hallway and entry way. Thank goodness we love it!

The girls and I have been spending most of our time at camp. Jim will come on the weekends and I have to come home on occasion for work. Every time I walk into the house, I hope that the condition of the mess has improved. Not so much. We have our work cut out for us when we are done with this project.

The girls are having such a blast at "George." They are water crazy ladies! Both of them. Sydy is having so much fun "swimming." I am starting to work with her on putting her head underwater. She comes up sputtering and with eyes wide with fear, but she keeps letting me do it! I am so proud of her. She is going to be a fish. I am having memories of being a swim instructor in college and seeing those little kiddos popping their heads out of the water.

Sawyer Molly is also loving the water. She isn't ready to go under yet, but she will happily walk in the water and splash around. We spent a little time on the water with camp neighbors today and they have a 4 year old daughter. All three girls were splashing around like little fish. We played ring around the rosie and I spun them all in the water. What fun.

Here are some random photos from the past few weekends at camp. The first weekends were cold! This weekend rocked. 80's and sunny.

Little Soybean helping mommy clean the dog hair and sand off of the floors!
Not sure what they were doing at this moment. Soybean's expression just cracked me up.
The girls love their bubbles. I mean LOVE bubbles. They make me "catch them" on the bubble wand for them all the time. Finally I say to them, no more, just blow bubbles!!!!
Sydy was so happy when she was able to catch them in her hand. She is so funny! The littlest things please her so much.



Watching the world go by from the dining window.
Nothing says summer like tanned lined little feet on worn boat docks. We spent a beautiful evening on the boat on this particular night. The little ladies had such a wonderful time. They love the boat so much and can't get enough of the wind and bumps.
Heading back to the shore after our evening boat ride.
The evening light coming off of the water is like butter. I love the soft glow it casts on the girls skin. I couldn't put the camera down!
Watching Daddy cover the boat from the dock.
Soybean was not too happy about having to get off of the boat.
Loving the boat ride and the wind in her hair! Notice Sydy's closed fist. As usual, she found a bug friend and made sure the buggy stayed safely in her hand for the entire boat ride. She loves her bugs and critters.
Soybean is such a huge fan of the boat. She immediately stands on the back seat and waits for daddy to turn the engine on. She giggles when he takes off!!! Seriously, she is fearless. Look at this expression. Pure joy. Maybe I should dig out the sunglasses for she and Sydy.
Waiting for daddy to cover the boat...
Our time at camp has been pure joy for us. The little ladies make our life so easy. Their love of the boat and water makes me so happy. I can't wait to spend all summer here with them.
