First Bit of Summer 2013

I'm enjoying the summer so much with my two sweet kids.  We've tried to stay in a routine of taking morning walks and getting in lots of swim time.  Usually I get up before the kids do (around 5:00-6:00) to exercise.  By the time I get home, Matt is getting ready for work and I can fix breakfast.  Then...we're off for a morning walk.  Sometimes we just walk around our neighborhood to see all the expansion (they're building so many homes in the area and a new elementary school literally 2 blocks away), or we will go on an adventure to a new park.  Eventually, it home to feed Miss Mallory.  Barrett and I usually play board games, jump on the trampoline, play with toys, or work on "Kinder" games on the computer.  After Mallory wakes up, we throw on our bathing suits and head to the pool!

Barrett has really improved on his swimming and he's a maniac when it comes to going down the slides!!!  One day he counted the number of times he went down the slide, and it was over 20.  Believe it or not, that's accurate!!!!!
