Summer life

So it's been awhile, but we're still here. Now that summer has arrived, we lounge around all day doing next to nothing until Scott comes home from work. At that point, we then lounge around until bedtime. Somehow, I am still tired every single day. With the temps already in the 110's this early in June, we've started living like vampires with the blinds always closed and lights off to keep the house a tiny bit cooler. We hit the library, the pool, the splash pad and Target. Those will be our usual stop for the next few months I imagine. The kids continue in piano and tumbling, excited about each milestone they pass. Grace has mastered the round-off back handspring and is ecstatic. She wishes tumbling was everyday so she could practice. Both the kids are excelling in piano and become giddy when learning new songs becomes easier and easier. June is our little joy. She has such a cute personality and smiles all the time for us. She loves to stand on her chunky little legs and look around all the time at what is going on. She is such an alert baby and will not give up any time to sleep if she is out of the house. A gift that her older siblings gave her I'm sure! We have several trips coming up for family reunions and I'm dreading poor June's nap schedule. She will most definitely be sleep deprived everyday. 

We have felt strongly that I'm to stay home at this point in our lives and not return back to work. This has been more of an adjustment for me than I would have anticipated. I struggle with feeling lazy, less important and wasteful of my talents. I am constantly reminding myself of my importance at home and in my children's lives. We have had several eye opening reminders in the past few months that have confirmed the need to be more present in their lives. I am thankful that we are able to do that. 

I hope that I will gain a little more momentum in blogging over the summer. Does anyone still blog anymore?

Just wanted to say that my heart was happy when I saw that you were back to blogging! Hooray! I am definitely looking forward to getting to see everybody's family reunion pics later this summer, since we'll have to miss it this year. Gotta also say, as much as we had a looong miserable winter, it's nice to not have to endure a PHX summer!
