Summer Bliss

Summer isn't technically here, but it is close enough! Yesterday I only had my eight year old and we had such a wonderful day. I picked her up from school, we grabbed her swimsuit and then headed to my house to play in the sprinkler. If that wasn't fun enough, we saw the ice truck truck on our way to my house. Ice cream, the sprinkler and sitting on the patio to play with this cute little thing! It was a great afternoon! For those of you interested, we have decided on Maverick. We say it with two syllables, Mavrick. He has already brought us so much joy. We can't believe we waited so long to bring a puppy home. He did not sleep well the first few nights, but is now sleeping all night. We are so thankful, because we were starting to feel like zombies!

The weather has been so nice and since our patio has been finished, I spend more time outside than inside. It is fabulous!

Today is a day that we have been anxiously awaiting for a long time. We are headed to www.thehideawayranch.com. We will be staying at the Hacienda. We stayed there almost two years ago and are thrilled to be going back. We were afraid we were going to have to cancel the trip since they don't allow pets and Mr. Protective Dad was not about to board his little baby. Thanks to Sandy, James' mom we don't have to cancel. She volunteered to keep our little boy safe and happy while we are gone.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, long weekend. I know we will!
