My mom & dad brought Hannah down over the weekend, so summer has officially began at our house. Mom & Dad are heading home tomorrow, so we've spent the last several days playing hard. The boys are absolutely exhausted from all the bike riding and swimming.
I've been keeping busy with pool maintenance (still trying to figure out exactly how to care for the thing -- start-up maintenance is still haunting me, though next year should definitely go better now that I've learned a few things). And I have a bag of grass seed staring at me every time I go in the garage. I really need to get it down over the few bare spots in the yard that remain from last year's pool project. We were going to put sod down, but decided against it as the lawn looked a lot better than we had anticipated it would (not that it looks that good -- definitely wished we would have paid the extra to have the entire lawn sodded up front). Sodding just adds a whole new slew of issues at this point, namely the addition of 3 or 4 inches of matter on top of the lawn, making the edges of sidewalks, fence gates, flower beds and such a problem.
I'm totally exhausted right now, mostly because communicating with Jeremy has gotten to be very interuptive to my sleep. If he gets up at 5 AM, he can call me at about 10:15 PM my time. Ugghhh...I want to talk to him, but it makes for LONG days when Lucy gets up to eat around 5:00 AM and sometimes doesn't completely go back to sleep. (And I suppose here is where I should acknowledge that I'm really grateful that we are able to talk for a nice stretch almost every day.) I'm so looking forward to two weeks with him here -- two weeks that I plan to treat like a vacation and just ENJOY!
I'm really glad to have Hannah here. Things just never seem quite right when she is gone...
