We are settled into summer and having a good time! The weather here is so incredibly mild. Middle of July and really not have AC is not problem accept for a few days here and there. Hot enough for the pool, but not HOT. Id say it has been in the 80s mostly. Basically the same weather as April. The pool finally warmed up and the kids swim at least once a day. Sometimes again after dinner. I havent heard "Mommmm, Im bored" so far this summer! I had a few classes planned, but they all fell through or were cancelled. Lego, Zoo Tycoon and the pool are our summer plan.Skyler is getting even blonder and is swimming really well! What a relief! Archer's hair is super long and he is taller than ever. There is a teenager lurking in there.... They are getting along great and play endlessly together. I hate to arrange playdates because it seems to throw off the dynamic.
I turned 40 last week. Boo, hiss. I dont really want to be 40, but its better than the alternative, right? Fred sent me to a spa for the day, bought me a Chiminaya, made a bunt cake (roll eyes) had a family over for a BBQ, and had a date night (sushi and The Hangover). All the weekend of the 4th of July! Maybe 40 wont be so bad after all.
The big fireworks display in this part of the Bay Area is at Shoreline Amphitheater which is just across the street from El Goog. So we watched from there and didnt have to compete for parking or a seat. We just had to listen to geek know-it-alls discuss the physics fireworks. I prefer dumb people who just say "Ewwww, Awwww".
We have more friends from Denver coming this week. Yea! The boys are excited too see friends and so are Fred and I. We are finally going to do Alcatraz! Ill let you know how that goes. We have waited so long and built it up so much, I hope it lives to up their expectations.
I introduced the boys to Micheal Jackson's music. It was on TV so much and Archer kept asking "Who's that lady?" so I told them the story of MJ. The G Rated version. They were amazed at his performances as a child, and like the videos for Scream (its in space) and Thriller (who doesnt like dancing zombies). Seems like a lot of not so old people died the week I turned 40.
Well I finally went to your Website. Just had not gotten there. A full weekend and it just does not stop. Who are your new visitors from CO? Pool time sounds fun and we need to Skype soon so the boys do not get too grown up before we see them again. Off to NY Thursday for an all expenses paid trip with board chair for Finding your true Authentic Leadership based on supplement book, Finding your True North. Not sure how I am keeping up with it all. Annual physical yesterday. Doc says I have trochantic bursitis in my hip. This is the reason I cannot walk a great distance without both hips hurting really bad. So I am doing some stretching exercises and want to get in a yoga class. Love you all. Skype soon before I forget how.
