You should be so lucky.

I haven’t blogged in awhile even though there has been plenty of neat stuff to share. I plan to get caught up in the next couple weeks. But in the meantime I had to share this special moment…

Yesterday was the first official day of summer, at least as far as the boys are concerned. No school for three months! After climbing out of bed yesterday morning Donna made her way down the hall to the kitchen. She was turned back by Jack who told her, “We’re bringing you breakfast, go back to bed.” Since we’ve been out of town for a week and the cupboards are pretty bare we waited nervously, wondering what was in store for us. Watermelon with relish? Cornflakes with ranch dressing? It turned out to be pretty darn good. Juice, cereal and toast (in massive quantities). To see them walk into our room carrying a tray full of their labors, smiling ear to ear was a wonderful gift. After handing a tray to me Jack raced to the kitchen and returned with a “bouquet of flowers”. See the picture below. Picked fresh from our backyard. And yes, that’s a tomato in there. I love my boys.
