Take your time and enjoy it!

I was absent-mindingly eating a Krispy Kreme doughnut while I was working on my last post. When I saved the post, I looked around wondering where I had put my doughnut and when it couldn't be found, I had to come to the realization that I had finished it. Without even really enjoying it. Well at least it has 0 grams trans fat. Maybe it won't really matter if I have another.

It's a wrap!

Even though school started a few weeks ago, Labor Day always seems to signal the end of summer for me. So I thought I'd recap our summer with some highlights.

We did some fireworks at our cousins house for the 4th of July. Max shows off some of the goods.

It's not the 4th of July without some sparklers. Looks like fun, right? Good times.

A few days later we went to California to stay with our friends kids while they went out of town. Our kids taught their kids all about Spongebob.

This little guy called me "Mama" all week. He's so cute, he almost makes me want to have another baby... almost.

We stayed in California for a few weeks just swimming and going to the beach. Near the end of July we went to Comicon in San Diego. There, we saw more nerds congregated in one convention center than we ever thought possible. This is where I "ruined Max's life" because I was asked to give a television interview for MSN and I declined. It apparently was his one shot at getting on TV.

Simon seems to have the same face on in all the pictures. He really did have fun despite the stressed look.

We had a great time in California, but it was really great to get home. And I think we were all ready for school to start.
