Another season is about to begin. The delicate little blooms have faded, and all of those random things we didn’t plant have come back again.

I am not a fan of summer. I hate the heat and humidity. I do, however, enjoy seeing the kids have fun. The twins will be out of school in a couple of weeks. I’m sure we will spend a lot of time in the back yard running through the sprinkler and blowing bubbles. It’s a time I want to make special for them, since summer vacation brings some of the best childhood memories.

I continue to have technical woes. I seem to be cursed. The hard drive on my desktop downstairs has some problems, and I hope I’ll actually be allotted some quiet time to work on it in the near future. I back up frequently, but it still would be an annoyance to have to replace the drive and start over. I don’t use that computer much (I’m almost always on the laptop), but I have important files on there.

It’s hard to believe that I have four children now! Micah and I remember, all too well, a time when we weren’t sure if we’d ever have a family. We are in awe of all of them. I want to soak up every moment and remember how this feels forever. It sounds so trite, but this is the best time in all of our lives.
