Today was an absolutely gorgeous Friday! Perhaps the universe is making up for the days and days and days of rain we've had this spring/summer with the gift of an 85 degree, lower humidity day in July! This kind of day = unheard of in our neck of the woods!
We started the day with a trip to the YMCA pool with our neighbor friend, Evan and his mama. Super fun way to start the day! After a good swim and lunch/nap, our cousins, Alex & Aidan arrived with their mama (Allyson) and Nana (Ann Marie). Allyson is like a sister to me and it's even more special that our kids are close in age -- Ben and Aidan are just 3 1/2 months apart! Don't worry....Rachael's not intimidated by 3 boys...she can handle it all in stride and make each one of them play with a tea set and a tiarra all in one afternoon.
This week was a particularly busy/stressful one with my Mom having a Crohn's flare. {As I write this, she is on the mend and will hope to avoid surgery!}Mike was (as always!) very generous to just let me pick up and go to be with her while he held down the homefront. The thing is -- he did so much more than hold it down - - I came home to happy kiddos, a mostly clean kitchen, a folded basket of laundry and a new shelf in the laundry room! He is a partner -- and even carries more of the load than he should and for that I can say, I AM the luckiest!
