preparing...



This seems to be the month of many changes...getting ready to watch Benjamin venture off to Kindergarten. His new school will be ready to open its doors on Aug 30th, so we are excited. I'm preparing myself for this big change. Tomorrow we'll hit the stores to buy his school supplies. We've purchased his uniforms, backpack, etc....so little by little we're getting ready.

Trevin, our little monkey [who has become such a tease, little rascal, but remains a bundle of love] is ready for potty training. I've been putting it off because of my work schedule, company, deadlines, & just because. We'll stay home this week more than we usually do & get this one checked off our list. If it doesn't happen this week - we'll try again after Benjamin is in school.

We're preparing for more hot & dry weather. We keep hoping that Mr. Weatherman will predict a change for us. So far, no luck. But we enjoy chilling out....eating homemade popsicles (we don't like store bought ones any more...if you're lucky, I'll post recipes this week), swimming in the evenings after Russell gets home from work, & playing games with Benjamin in the evening, spending some time outside in the evenings or early mornings. So....we're not suffering!

our date in July at the time of Russell's birthday :
