Three will do: Summer is here.....at last

It was a mere one day into summer vacation and Julia says to me as I am tucking her in bed "I miss school" Who is this kid, I thought. The endless mornings she would get up and say UGGGGHHH I want to stay home with you. Oh well now you can and you want school. Welcome to the world that is mine. Children who never really know what they want. It has been a week since she made that statement and I think she is settling in well. She has had many play dates and more fights with her brother and sister than I care to talk about. Soon she will have other things keeping her busy. She has a tennis camp with the Youth Tennis League July 24th - Aug. 12th and a Cheer Camp before that. She will be taking soccer in the fall with Twin City Youth Soccer Association. Liam is just fine same as always (he has always fought with Aynsley now he's happier because he has Julia to switch things up with) He is still BFF with Ghassan but has a friend in my neighbors visiting grandson, Griffin. They are together from sun up to sun down (Ghassan is in Fl) Griffin is only here for a few days but they are very much alike. He is going to be in Gymnastics over the summer and we will see how he likes that. He has an enormous amount of core strength I think it will help develop his strength for sports and anything else. Aynsley, Aynsley, Aynsley she is still my little cuddler and so fun. Still hopping everywhere she goes. Happy for the most part and loves to mirror Julia. They walk around singing the same songs and she has been saying "No means yes" don't even dare ask me where she gets that from. Who knows.

Ross is very happy with work, and still working out as usual. He has been taking care of the lawn like that is his second profession. He has everyone in the neighborhood asking him what he's doing to make it look so good. Well if you haven't noticed, every time he is off from work he is doing something to it, that is the secret. Kudos to Ross for making us look so good. He is always searching for somewhere to play tennis like when we were in Ardmore but to no avail. We will keep looking.

I am super excited about going to the beach with The Stocklin's (Mom and Dad)and the Parrish's (Marissa and Jon). We have planned a trip to Topsail Beach NC in late August (the 18th-25th to be exact) in a house on the ocean. I am getting caught up in trying to plan everything we are bringing and what all we will do, but really need to realize that is only June and need to maybe plan a little visit to the beach beforehand to take the edge off. But I think part of the whole excitement is being with family that we don't see very often. I know it will be great fun.
