on the first of July

There's a little ghost behind my curtains. Nicholas likes to stand up against the glass patio doors and look outside.
I love the little foot peeking out the bottom.

Yesterday Kent worked for 17 hours straight, then he woke up at 5 this morning to head back into work.
I wish I knew what I can do to help him somehow.

Nicholas has been playing with my laptop. The "a" key now is really hard to press down.
If I don't py ttention, my typing begins to hve problems becuse the A won't work.

We are experiencing the outer edge of Hurricane Alex (or hurricne lex if my finger gets lazy). Rain, rain, rain. We live the perfect distance away from the coast, and because of that, hurricanes are good news for us.
But hurricanes aren't the best 4th of July barbecue and fireworks weather.

Speaking of the 4th of July, I have the world's best birthday present ever planned for Kent. He's going to love it.
I think sometimes I get more excited about presents I'm giving than the people I'm giving them to do.

Yesterday when we were grocery shopping, I ran out of room in the cart to put the watermelon I bought, so I set it in the seat with Nicholas. It would seem that there's nothing that makes that boy happier than sitting next to a watermelon.
I left it on the floor when we got home and he's been playing with it all morning.

In 19 days we are heading to Utah. Warm days and cool nights. Soft, lush, Utah grass. Mountains. Big night skies full of stars. Camping, swimming, family, food. It's going to be great.

In 47 days my baby turns one. What has happened here?

Ready for it or not, it's July!
