“In sweet summertime…”

Ahhh, summer. For many, this is a time of refreshment, of relaxation, of vacation, of taking time away.

For others it’s a time of busy-ness, of frantically-paced rushing about to get all the fun things accomplished.

For some of my family members, it’s the most stressful time of year at their jobs.

For me, it’s kind of a combination. I want to spend summer at the lake, just swimming, relaxing, and soaking it all in. But as my kids get older, I am finding it harder and harder not to fill up the summer months with activities. Good activities. Fun activities… but time-consuming activities all the same.

All in all, it’s been a great summer so far, so let’s dive in and see what’s been going on, shall we?
