Henry’s birth seems so long ago. He was the only kid that didn’t arrive too early. I prayed and prayed for my water to break as I hit full-term. And then…one morning I heard water gushing..but it was in the basement. Our blue max piping had exploded and the basement was going to flood. Fantastic.
I have to say that “A LEMONADE STAND!!” was the first idea the kids screamed out for our Summer Bucket List. And I killed that idea immediately. It sounded like a nightmare. More work than I chose to handle. Plus, we live at the very end of a cul-de-sac. So it would also be traveling

Here’s a short list of Random Things I Discovered This Summer… The Nightingale is a FANTASTIC book. Not a quick-beach-read type of book. But an excellent story. Grab the tissues. Lachey’s in OTR is worth trying. I had low expectations and it was great. The food was awesome. Spicy Garlic Tot Bowl? Zucchini Frites? YUM!
Some of you have asked if I stopped blogging…um, not really. Summer just sucks me in. Time flies when you are having fun. That’s for sure. Where did the summer go? HOW is it already August? My kids return to school soon and I am not ready. We have definitely had a fantastic summer. Better
