Sara and Lily (I just love this picture! It's so---them!)

I love summer, I hate summer

The one thing I love about summer is ................no socks! No washing them, no drying and sorting them, nobody saying "Mom! I need socks!" It's sandals all the way...

The one thing I hate about summer is ..................neighbor kids! We have a gazillion of them in our neighborhood and they all seem to want to pull all the branches off my trees! There are practically no fences and so all the kids run from one yard to the next, all day long and while it's fun for the kids to just go go go, my trees are suffering!!! Ahhhh!!!

Poulsbo Pirranah swim team champion! ---well almost.

2 second place ribbons and 1 fourth place ribbon ain't bad, right? Good job, Stephen!
