Let Summer Begin!

In my opinion, summer is officially here! I always look at Memorial Day weekend as the beginning of summer though I know "officially," it doesn't start for a few more weeks. Was it just me, or did it seem a little earlier this year than usual? Regardless, what a great long weekend! As if having Ryan at home for an extra day wasn't enough, we were able to spend a lot of time with friends this weekend. We had Jeff, Kristin and sweet baby Britton Bernat over on Saturday evening. On Sunday afternoon and evening, we went to Alex, Heather and Hadley Pacin's house. Doug, Julia and Vivian Rohan were there too along with Julia's dad and Alex's parents. They cooked a wonderful meal for us that we thoroughly enjoyed. We are certainly blessed with many great friends.

Then there was Monday. First, we would like to thank our current military and our veterans for their service to this country. We would especially like to thank Great-Grandpa Hooks for his distinguished military career; if you ever have the chance to talk to him about it, please do so.

On Monday morning, I have to tell you that Lily slept in until 10AM; we actually woke her up then. She usually sleeps until about 8:30 (which I am not complaining about!), but this was an extra treat. Then, to top it off, we enjoyed delicious ribs at Charlie, Lisa and (absolutely adorable) Charlotte Lundquist's house. What a great way to celebrate Memorial Day!

I hope your Memorial Day weekend was wonderful and you are now ready for summer!
