More Summer Days...

Well, now you are really catching on to the fact that I am overwhelmed, overworked and extremely underpaid! I guess that is par for the course of most people's lives right now, but I can't figure out why I never seem to be able to catch up! Is time just going faster or is it my imagination?

Oh, well,.....so........I have to do a quick family blog with pictures from the rest of the summer and then try to find Bret's birthday pictures to do another blog. I KNOW! ITS WICKED AND TERRIBLE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!! I'm sure that it will go down in the annuals of my history as being the most pathetic time in my life....

Well, I hope so, anyway----if it gets worse----I'M IN TROUBLE!

I shudder to think when I will get to Thanksgiving and Christmas.....

So, ....next it was a trip to Utah to see the G-babies! It was exciting to spend 10 days or so with Hailey and her young ones----those kids are soooo beautiful! We went swimming and helped Hailey move in to her new house, but mostly I just played with the babies a lot... Sigh....

Grandpa Cannon, with the twins...

"Mimi" gets to hold them last.
Margy, Shawn and Mom ready for the Luau at Margy's house...stunning!

Aunt Margy takes over for a while when we visit her house.

All ready to go to the Aquarium with Hailey---great stroller, guys!

Back at home again, and Aydan is taking swim lessons!
Here he is perfecting his back float....

...resting by the side of the pool, waiting for his turn...

...playing games with the teacher...

...and working on his front crawl.

He's starting to get the hang of it...as long as he doesn't have to put his head in!
