TGIF...original title huh?

I'm all about savoring every moment, but I'll admit this hot summer thing? I want to skip the last three chapters and be done with it. Which is why I nearly did a cartwheel in the third aisle of Hobby Lobby the other day when I noticed the fall wreaths have debuted. I am ready for a weather shift, and I'm a sucker for seasonal commercialism...especially fall.

We dwell in two places these days--inside in the cool basement or in Papa & Nanny's pool. Bodie actually asked me the other day, "How come we have to wear clothes?" because it's so freakin' hot, I suppose the heat relief of communal nudity sounds inviting to a five year old.  Don't worry. We stay clothed...mostly!


So again, despite my promises I have neglected my poor little blog.  I think if it often, but find so little time or energy to sit down and write.  I cherished having this outlet so much in the first days of Rhys's diagnosis, and so it is somehwhat refreshing to me that I no longer need to come here and pour my feeling and emotions out in a rambling web of words. 

It seems we have developed into a routine, however eclectic that routine may be...sleeping in (if your name is McCall), playing, more playing, a little picking up...not too much, more playing, sleep...repeat.  Oh, the life.

And now a new routine begins.  Football practice began this week, soccer next.  And then...wait for it...school!  McCall in the 2nd grade, Bodie in kindergarden, Rhys will start preschool in October....and me too!  I finally am returning, full-time to BSU.  So as you can see things are about to get even busier around here! Rhys is definitely the driving force behind my return to school.  I never knew what I wanted to be "when I grew up"...and now I do. 
 So a summer round up...

So happy to be an aunt and uncle.  Jaxson is perfect!

Naughty as ever and his monkey antics have prompted some very serious childproofing!!


Zoo fun...or not if your are princess McCall.  It was simply too hot, she was melting!

McCall can finally ride without training wheels...I was sure she would go to prom with them on!

Rosie laid our first egg.  We now have two of our six chickens laying...fresh eggs anyone?

 

Summer, I'm finished with you...good-bye dog days.  Fall...hurry up already would you?!?
