Lazy Hazy Days?

Where have the lazy hazy summer days gone? Ours are kind of action packed and they are flying by at warp speed!

Taf turned 15 on Sunday. 15......15!!!! Margaret will be home in 10 days! It all goes so fast!

Have you ever gone back to stir up a memory and got lost trying to find it? I guess thats a sure sign that you are getting old! On Sunday we went to our friends Summer house for a gathering and all the couples were talking about their younger years and what they had done in those early years of marraige.......I tried to remember when we were married and did NOT have kids and all I could say was " what did we do back then!!" I do remember being at Rectory that first year but it is hard to get back to when it was just me and Tom!!

Pops went and taught Margaret how to pitch for soft ball on Monday. She had a great time and yesterday she said that she did get her friend Jill to catch for her a bit....she does not know that her Daddy is going to be stopping by later today. He had a meeting in CT this morning and then he is visiting a friend of his ( that he went to Rectory with) for lunch, and then he is going to surprise Margaret and also make her practice pitching!!

She will be very happy to see him.

Quinn has more basketball games today....that summer camp program that he has done has been great. He really has had fun and has palyed A LOT! We will watch him later this morning set his picks and make great shots...woohoo Quinn!

Taf is going to be working for our next door neighbor on Friday and is excited to be doing work for Money!! He has done some work at school this summer, lots of real work stuff, like stripping floors and moving furniture...but that work ( he works about 90 hours per school year) helps pay his tuition...he sees no cash for that! Friday he will see some cash!!

Kathleen and PAtrick are driving me crazy! ( Not really) but they are typical little kids on summer vacation. They remind me of Quinn and Margaret when they were little, the key word here is LITTLE.....they are just little kids and they play really well together except when they are fighting, tattling, crying and fighting more!! Hahaha.....they do play well together and are enjoying summer....they eat lots of popsicles and swim everyday, they have ridden their bikes and jumped their jump ropes, they have been afraid of the thunder storms, they have caught frogs in the pond AND in the pool, they sit in the hammock and eat peaches one after another....they watch TV and have to clean up their rooms and their messes. They go to bed each night exhausted and get up the next day with a smile on their face.....

Life is Good!!
