This weekend, I found ways to make the summer seem much more like the summer. Our pool has gone through a huge makeover and it has paid off. We met Kiara and wee little Annika and Helena.\ I think everyone had a great timeWe love to go over there for even an hour.

Benton had his 4th birthday and the party was really perfect. I hope these kids keep on having birthday parties because they are always really fun. I dont have any pics from the festivities because I forgot to put the CF card in the camera. DUH!

Spent a few days in Winter Park with Sarah, Hannah, Madison and Mary Quick. Lots of firsts on that trip!

The backyard is feeling less and less like the CLAMPETS live here. I think I need a week off from work for each part of the house that needs work. OK... so winning the lottery would help in that arena.

This week is busy so I dont forsee a trip to the pool unless it is a later in the evening trip, maybe I will be able to pull that off.

Goodness to you this week!

A new blog! I hope that I will be able to note some our very best adventures and learnings! I have named it "sweet mysteries". A number of years ago, I learned first hand what this really meant, it really captures all of the brilliant moments we cant find words for. So, hopefully my learning curve won't inhibit the readability of this... oh who am I kidding, of course it will.

I had a chair made and it is named sweet mysteries... and the inspiration came from this painting. Each time I look at these or I am reminded how precious each moment is. This is where I want to precious moments to live.
