We have a lot going on this summer.  Juliette was supposed to have surgery on June 16th, but the insurance company threw a wrench in the plans... so it's been postponed until July 12th.  So stay tuned on that front.  My mom came down for the week to help out, so instead of caring for a recuperating child, she got to spend some quality time with her grandkids !!

Maisie is making great strides in her summer reading program and has already received a medal for her efforts from the library.  She's becoming quite the swimmer too learning how to stroke and breathe.  All this is being done at home and various camps.  Jules loves being in the water and is happy as a clam just floating around on noodles.  She's learning how to hold her breath and is able to go under water without much of a fuss.  We didn't enroll her in camps because we thought we'd be dealing with the aftermath of surgery.... so right now she attends "Camp Mom".  We've taken some fun field trips.... so far to the aquarium, the beach and a local plantation where she was thrilled to come face to face with animals big and small.  Her favorites were the goat and peacock.

We continue to have dance parties in our living room and our dining room table is currently an art studio... and of course the kitchen is a nail salon.  My brother's girlfriend Karyn

 (who the girls call Kuh-na) got roped into the action.  Everyone now has Red, White and Blue nails.... 

Happy Summer !!
