Chips 'n Salsa

Yes, it is summer again. Lots of things blooming, including weeds and hard to pull grasses that are inbeded in the flower beds and are very hard to pull. Yeah!!!! This last weekend that is just about all Bruce and I did. Plus Bruce took a load of stuff to the dump, including our old counter from the kitchen. Our new granite counter tops look great. we still need to paint and put up the tile backsplash. All in time. I am learning to be patient, and just live day to day. It so much better than the other way around, which is yelling and being upset that things are not moving as fast as you would like. Keeping in God's word and just loving your family and what God has given me helps alot. Sean is such a joy always. Nicole and Brian are fantastic parents, and they have created a very special child. I can hardly wait to see the newest on in September, plus Brandy's little boy. It just doesn't get any better, does it? We just came back from a family vacation with AJ and the Kelleher's. We all went to Monterey/Carmel area and rented a house. We had a very relaxing time. We went to the Aquarium, which Sean just loved. The whole 2nd floor is just for children his age, very hands on and fun for him, and us. To watch Sean get so excited about the fish and penguins and all, it was so fun. We stayed there for hours. Then we took him to the beach, and boy did he love that. I think he would of just walked right into the waves. It was just like the biggest sandbox ever for him. He played with his pail and shovel, and cried when it was time for us to leave. We ate at Clint Eastwoods old restaraunt, Hogsbreath. We sat outside in the courtyard right by a fireplace. Very nice. Carmel is a fun place to visit. The guys golfed a couple of days. Nicole and I went shopping one day and then to this kids park called Dennis The Menace Park. The guys BBQed for us and we went in the hot tub almost everyday. The house had a great view, and lots of birds. A nice relaxing time. But of course it went to fast. So back to reality and all the things that need to be done here at home. Never ending.
