June/July

We are having an amazing summer! I love that we didn't over plan things with classes etc. We usually are going every weekend but the kids love socializing with other kids. I rememember how much I enjoyed playing with other kids when I was young. We have been hanging out with friends and family, and of course our neighborhood friends. We have been swimming galore. Anthony and Avabelle are turning into part fish. Anthony had a Lou-ow on Anthony Island(dad's idea I really loved it).

Anthony - He is an amazing wonderful awsome guy. He get's to earn video game time if he reads books. He has turned into a VERY fluent reader. I am amazed everytime he reads me a book. He has so much motivation to read. He wrote all his thank you cards for his birthday(20 of them) for a little guy that's a lot. I can't believe he is 6 now and going to full day kindergarten. He always sits on my lap and hugs me and tells me he loves me.

Avabelle - Her comprehension of stories amazes me she remembers details of books and people. She loves to write mom on everything. She loves to make Anthony and Louie laugh and always tries to accomodate Louie. Her heart is so big.

Louie - He is starting to talk more. He was looking up at Tony on the bed while Tony was reading and he kept telling him, "I love you dada." He is so charming and says hello to everyone.

Tony and I - Love our date nights together they are sparadic but they are wonderful. I respect and admire him so much, he still amazes me with things he can do. We just painted the kitchen yellow(I always wanted a yellow kitchen!)
