I’m really sort of annoying sappy and sentimental as far as summer is concerned. Not about the heat and humidity, OH MY WORD NO. But the other stuff? The uninterrupted family time? The swimming? The time at the beach? The trips to see family and friends? The wide open days with nothing but fun on the horizon?
I could write a Deeply Moving Ballad just thinking about that stuff. I love it all so much.
And as much as I’d love to be able to pick one moment of our summer and say, THIS, THIS ONE WAS THE MOST SPECIAL – I just can’t. There was too much goodness. There were some sad times and some hard times, of course, but by and large it was chock-full-o-sweetness. I’m so grateful for the days I got to spend with a little guy who starts off every single day with a big smile, a head full of hair that sticks straight up, and an ongoing insistence that cereal should be eaten without milk, LIKE THAT EVEN MAKES SENSE.
There’s just nothing better than doing life with that little fella.
And because I am a gigantor sap of epic proportions, I made a slideshow to document some of our favorite summer memories. Because remember when you were little and one of your relatives made you sit on the floor while he or she showed 400-600 slides of their vacations from the 1960s?
This is pretty much the 21st century version of that. Only hopefully you’ll be spared the bee-hive hairdos and horn-rimmed glasses.

To document those special moments, my kids take pictures. Otherwise, I have to rely on my memory
The best part of my summer is all pool related… Fourth of July pool party and cookout with lots of relatives and lots of swimming the rest of the summer–relaxing and no pressure.
