Checking in

Our summer technically hasn't even started and it has already been a good one. But is seems to be getting better by the second.

For starters, Jacob has been gone eleven of the last fourteen days and he is coming home tonight. We can hardly wait!

And tomorrow, the World Cup begins. The World Cup people! Have you filled out your bracket? I sure hope so. I married into a soccer family and you'd better believe there is great excitement, trash talking and many a game being watched.

Tomorrow is also Matt's last day of Kindergarten. Our little guy will be in first grade in a few short months and I can hardly believe it. It has been a very happy year for him.

And then one week later Annie and Cam are finished with school. I can hardly believe we will have kids in first, third and fifth grade. How did they get so old? How did I get so old? The kids are super excited for school to be over.

And then the rest of summer is ahead. Swimming, vacations, jumping on the trampoline, watching movies together, reading books, playing board games, hiking, doing chores, practicing piano, weeding, relaxing, playing together, laughing together.

Oh man, I'm a fan of summertime.
