Bathing suits and birthdays
John and Austin have been out of town for a few days so it's just been Tara and me, bumming around together this weekend. We have been cleaning the house, shopping, and swimming at the pool. We love summer.
But today begins a slew of birthdays in my family, starting with my Mom's (Happy Birthday Mom!) and tomorrow is my brother Dave's (Happy Birthday Big Brother) and then Tuesday is Austin's (wow, 12!) Isn't it some kind of karma that my Mom, her first son and then my first son have birthdays so close together? I see this a lot in families. Some kind of genetic cycle, maybe?
OK, I would write more about our every day life so far this summer, but a little girl dressed as a purple and pink butterfly princess from head to sparkle-shoe toes, carrying a doll in the same outfit, is waving her star wand at me. I guess her wish is that I turn my full attention to her, again! I think she is excited to celebrate all of these birthdays.

Yay! Happy birthdays everyone! Cousin Sally

We can only hope he surpasses his father. Tara's always going to be a purple butterfly, flitting around here and there, elusive and beautiful, alighting where she finds a flower, And if you don't like it she'll bop you with her wand.
