Summertime Fun

That's what we've been up to lately. We found a pool close by with $1 admission so we have made it there a couple of times with our friends, the boys have done sidewalk chalk, bikes, sprinklers and stayed at grandma's a couple of nights since she is now officially on summer vacation. (She'd been teaching summer school)

The boys look a bit hostile in this picture but I think they were just surprised by the camera...notice Huston really gets into his work...


The cheap yet entertaining sprinkler...

Here is Huston and Avery sitting down like two old men waiting for a parade...

And what would summer be without a few storms? We had a good one on Tuesday morning. The most lightning for the longest duration I have seen in quite a long time - maybe my whole life. It started in the wee hours of the morning and things were still rumbling a bit until noon. Our lights were out from 8:30a until a little after 5p - a lot of people without power around town. The boys were a bit stir crazy at first, but settled down enough to really make it through the day pretty good. Luckily the sun did not appear until the evening so it didn't warm things up to the point of being unbearably humid or hot without the a/c.

The church was fried though - lots of phones, alarms, computers, sound equipment, etc. surged by all the lightning. On my days without boys, Lillie and I went and worked over at my office a bit...the first day we pretty much goofed off cause everything was so crazy and I wasn't feeling the best, but the second day I got a lot of stuff done - so overall it evened out to be pretty productive.

Lillie got 4 shots on Wednesday, but checked out really good and healthy at her dr appointment. She has discovered her feet and often try to get them into her mouth, and she has started blowing raspberries which can be pretty funny to watch...

The doc did say that her bottom gums are full and teeth might be popping in before we know it - which if it happens within the next 3 months, she'll have all her brothers beat in that dept.

There's our update. Been taking it pretty easy and hope you all have been too.
