Summer is Here!

Ahhh, summer.  I have a love-hate relationship with this season.  I like to be able to take the kids places, go swimming, boating, and do all the summer things, but I am not a fan of hot weather.  Lock me up in the A/C and I'll be happy.  Just like springtime, we had a lot of random things going on, but nothing super specific.  

Because of summer storms, we tend to lose power on occasion.  We keep ourselves busy by playing cards or other games by candlelight.

My weight loss journey started at the end of May.  I was feeling so much better by this time.

First day of freshman year for this kid, and a walk-through of the high school before school started.

A little birdwatching.  Mom would hop over and feed her babies from time to time and then disappear for hours until the next feeding.  They were fun to watch, but I can't say that all of their droppings were fun to clean up.
