we are here. we are here. we are here.

Addie loves the movie "Horton Hears a Who" and lately likes to bang two metal measuring cups together and yell..."we are here, we are here, we are here"!  She also likes to carry around a dandelion and call it her "speck".

She's a little obsessive but she's not the only one in the family with that trait.  

I haven't posted for a while but we are here.  

The kids finish school in the next week.  

Expectations are high for our best summer ever together.  There is already talk about how we will spend the 90 days of summer vacation [if you've got ideas, please drop a comment].  One thing I can see is a steady stream of iced coffee to keep up with my three road runners.  They say kids have endless amounts of energy and I tend to agree.  But last night, for the first time EVER, our almost 3 yr. old, on her own, told us..."I'm going to bed now, goodnight" and then went and climbed in her bed and went to sleep.  Very strange & shocking behavior...special thanks to the great outdoors.
