School's out for summer!

...and what are we going to do with Miss C?! May, while schools was technically still in, was full of trips and weddings so we're covered there.  June...well June is dragging on and I'm thinking I better find something for her to do in July.  We're working on reading and writing here at home but she only wants to do that for so long, and would much rather watch the Disney channel all day.  Have you seen the Disney channel lately? It's not cartoons! It's tween aged programming that she loves to watch and then repeats back to me at (in)opportune times. Interesting to say the least.  We do spend most afternoons swimming and she's already sporting a dark tan.  She just learned to do front and back somersaults in the water which she is quite proud of.  She's also been able to get diving rings off the bottom of the 5' deep section of the pool and swim the whole thing by herself with no floaties or help. 

Miss A hit 5 months a few weeks back and has a some new tricks up her sleeve now.  The first being a nice pointy puppy tooth to bite with!  She's also rolling around all over, sitting up by herself, and holding her own bottle most of the time. Now if I can just break the 5:30am wake up habit! I can't complain too much but it would be nice to at least get to 6:00.

Oh yeah, almost forgot! We celebrated our 10 year anniversary on June 16th! 10 years...wow! I can't decide if it's gone by fast or not because it seems like we've known each other forever.  I think that's a good thing. The lovely prom-style pic below is from our dinner on the beach in Jamaica. 

And as I am about to click "publish", I hear Taps playing over the loud speakers at the air force base from inside my office.  I love hearing that.   7am Reveille, 5pm National Anthem, 10pm Taps. Every day.
