2 weeks in....

Wow....we have an awesome 2 weeks.  Different from past years, no swimming lessons at Selkirk Park (miss that!) and no time spent playing at playgrounds (we are way past that!) but wonderful, relaxing and full of laughs and together time.
I have been able to exhale in a big way and shift focus back to my family and home.  I love that my big decisions involve which chair to sit in on the patio while I read my book and how long to let the kids wander around the mall before we go for lunch!
Our garden is growing...small blossoms are turning into cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and peas.  Grace has learned how to cut the grass and loves the riding lawn mower.  Abby has been babysitting a bit and is happy to have some spending money (she is great at saving too!).  Tyler still has the pins in his finger (hopefully they will come out on Monday) but is being so awesome, not complaining at all, and is still managing to ride his dirt bike and work his shifts.
I have started to do Project Life, I think I will love this system (which I can buy at Micheals now!).  I miss scrapbooking and I think this will be a good way to start documenting again.  I have figured out how to order prints off my phone and tablet (Wal-Mart app...thank you Abby!).
Looking forward to Murray's holidays in a couple of weeks.  We still haven't planned what we are going to do but we usually pull together a pretty awesome adventure!
I really need to make a new blog banner and get some pictures off the camera.  Our summer list is up and we have already accomplished a couple of things.  Life is good and I am blessed.....
Cheers to a wonderful July day!
