Little Bits.

We had a great time with my family last weekend. Happy Big-Birthday again Momma! Thanks everybody for coming all this way to spend the day with us and celebrate Mom's birthday and Jake's [my nephew] too. It was so freaking hot that day but we made the best of it by taking regular indoor breaks from watching the kids swim all day. We said boo to the heat and had a BBQ anyway, it was all good and all yum. I wish we got together more often, I love my family! Here's a big 'ol colorful + busy collage for a peek.

That first picture shows my mother reading a stat sheet I printed from the year she was born, zoom up and look at her friend Brenda's reaction to one of the items she read, I love it. That's my sister Alicia in the black top and my brother Jimmy down at the bottom right wearing the USA wifebeater. My sister Renee's in the blue tee. The picture of my mom with her grandchildren is sweet. Absent from the grandkids photo: Eva, who was inside taking a little nap.

Moving on to the not so retro...

Emily has had half day volleyball camp all week and Wyatt and Sarah are still golfing weekly. Not a whole lot more going on for us this week, which is nice. It's good to be slow and easy sometimes. We have lots of family birthdays [I mean lots, like ten!] in the next few weeks so I suspect we will be eating scads of birthday cake and summering ourselves up outdoors too. I'm needed by little people who need super important things at this very moment, I'm off. More later.
