July already? What happened to June?

I can't believe I missed a whole month! Sorry.

We have been busy with Camp W (though not as organized and scheduled as I had originally planned), family reunions, traveling, doctor's appointments, and just plain surviving the miserable heat! I think we need a new air conditioner- anybody have a spare $5,000 lying around they want to donate to my new A/C fund? 

I get to have plastic surgery in a few weeks as soon as I get the OK from the insurance company. No, not that kind of surgery- although, who wouldn't want a few things rearranged here and there? Just some dermatology work to pay for all those sunburns I had as a kid. I promised Mike I wouldn't stress about it until I had a good reason, so am doing my best not to think too much about it. Just wear sunscreen, OK?

I am trying to adjust to the fact that my baby boy will be in Kindergarten in just over a month. I can't believe it! Becca is going to be lonely. I am trying to arrange a baby-sitting swap thing for once a week when school starts for Miss Becca. Anyone know of an 20 month-ish little girl who could use a couple playmates? In exchange for hosting once a month, you get three lovely days of freedom. Already have a couple of 3 yr olds on board, but would like a younger one to balance it out.

I am hoping to find a few quiet evenings to do a blog blitz and catch everything up. So be prepared for a whole bunch of journaling and no personal content from me for a while.

And I got a new camera after I dropped ours on top of the space needle in TN and it cracked in half. I took the kids to get their pictures taken and discovered Rebecca has an irrational fear of photographers and now have her 18 month birthday documented with a stack of pictures featuring her frowning face and wispy red hair. Might as well be realistic right?

And now I must go- in the time I spent typing Rebecca has dunked an entire package of graham crackers into her brother's unattended glass of milk, poured a bag of Kix into the living room carpet, and Andrew has handcuffed his big sister to the kitchen chair. And its raining. Life goes on!
