I mean it when I say Tat’s, I am talking about the good ones.  The ones that won’t wash off.  We are on day 6 and they are going strong.  They stand for a 4th of July well done.  It is a tradition.  Our neighbor Sue has a line 5 kids deep for at least an hour.  She has it down to a science.  Wet, place and wet again.  Do a little arm dance and walla a beautiful tattoo that will last days, maybe even weeks.

So we are relishing in the last reminders of a great holiday weekend and loving on our babies.  I could watch this girl play Mama for hours.  She is a good one too.  Minus the whiplash that babe might get when  she/he flies backward off of her shoulders, but she loves them.  She talkes to them, kisses them and cares for them.

More water fun.

Good memories.  As we move into the second half of the summer the anxiety of what the next year of school will bring is also creeping in.  I have had lots of worries lately.  Trying to find a place for all of it.  Ahhh the ebb and flow of parenthood.  It is hard.  Really hard.

TGIF folks!  We are off to a very special golf outing tomorrow afternoon, honoring our nephew Brayden Powell.  He was only with us a short time but he remains in our hearts every day! Tomorrow we celebrate him! OX Katie
