What I've been doing

Work is officially over for me until August. It's a great feeling, and to celebrate, I've been hanging out with some of my favorite people. We have a couple of smashing parties, gone swimming, played games, and, in general, had a blast. Emily, Franz and the girls left for Crooked Lake this morning (I'm jealous), and already it feels almost as if I have just now begun my vacation. Little girls wear me out. Hearing Maddie begin a sentence with "Well, actually..." and Katie say, "Wana [that's me], watch dis" or "Gamma did it" in the midst of one of her unending tall tales, melts my heart every time.

Happy for a moment or two - engrossed in a book - with matching pj's.

Party #1 - Saturday at Ev and Em's
