June Good Timin'

We've been enjoying our slow-starting summer. Last weekend was the neighborhood garage sale where I scored a large number of great things for Kate. To note, she got a kitchen ($5!) and a toy vacuum that is an exact replica of mine (with which she's been obsessed for a year now). Attachments, humming, light, dust bag and everything. Finally late this week it warmed up and we were able to go to the pool. Kate has absolutely no fear of the pool and wants to do nothing but climb out, walk away from the edge and then run and jump in. I will be purchasing a swimsuit with a built-in safety vest this week. Last night we threw a BBQ/babyshower for Peter and Kerry - they are expecting in just a few weeks now. I keep telling Kate that McPhee (Kerry) is having a baby and so now when we see her Kate says, "bebe?" Soon enough she'll get to see that tiny baby!! How strange to have a BBQ on a Saturday night with 8 kids watching the Disney channel in my living room. Huh. Who would have thought?
