We had a nice trip to Seattle for Matthew to meet Carl's siblings and visit with family and have the boys get lots of cousin time in. The weather was amazing. The four hour plane trip both ways was not. But, we survived it and it was worth it to have so much time with Carl's family. I wish we could see them more or lived closer. Alas, I am not a west coast girl.
Jack is thoroughly enjoying camp and has finally embraced swim day, which was a struggle thanks to a horrible swim instruction we had previously at the Y. I think we are back on track and I am SO thankful for that.
Matthew is moving and shaking. It's crazy how much he can walk now and what he can do. He loves to throw tantrums and I don't remember this about Jack. I asked Carl and he doesn't either...must be a younger child thing. I wouldn't know about that :)
Carl and I have found time to have some fun- al fresco dinners, Ravinia to see Jake Shimubukoro and James Taylor (tomorrow!), time with friends, cooking out, lots of water parties and a little canning. That last part I would like to change but time gets away from me and I don't seem to be as good at planning this year. I do want to do the candied jalapenos again and more pickles, along with apple butter in the fall and salsa when tomatoes come in full-force. I just need to pull up my big girl boots and dive in!
