Is it actually Friday?

June is almost over.  

What!!!

June is almost over?!?!?!  Summer vacation is in full swing but I can't believe how fast it's going.  Kyra turns 8 tomorrow and I just can't believe it.  I think I will have to work up a little dedication to that little star of mine.  The end of June also brings the birth of a new baby in our large colorful family.  Mallory will be born, we believe, on Tuesday...bets on somewhere around 1pm, just about lunch time.  We also get to have our Larry home for the week, which is a treat for us.  We will celebrate the 4th of July in style, which Amber has also taught me to cherish and make memories of.  She takes that one pretty seriously, t-shirts and bows and all matching outfits for her crew along with a party and fireworks with little treats to enjoy while waiting.  Fun times.  The end of June also brings with it a sense that our little break is slipping away quickly.  As you know, we are working on the idea of heading to Vancouver in August.  Working on the idea means that there is still a chance that it won't happen.  We are still working on the contract negotiations which determines whether or not we can afford this little venture.  I am cautiously optimistic on this one.  Once that all gets worked out there will be so much work to do.  So much to take care of.  Passports.  Packing.  Selling.  Donating.  Cleaning.  Swimming, don't forget swimming.  July will be a busy month.  

I do hope that all is well in your homes this evening.  Good night!
