Feeling much better now, whew….Dee’s got the cold, though and I’m still coughing but we’ll survive. Knock on wood, the boys have stayed healthy this time.

We got to go out Saturday night. What a treat! Holly (http://www.hollyoreilly.com/ … seriously, check her out!) was playing at a house concert in West Seattle so I took Dee to it for an early anniversary present. The food was great and hearing Holly play with the sun setting over the water was amazing. Check out the Firefly concert series if you get a chance…google it. It was worth it for sure and something we’ll try to do again. And a gigantic thank you to Nana/Papa for taking the boys overnight so we could go to the show. Thank heavens the boys behaved…maybe they’ll be invited back! 🙂

On Saturday before we left, I took the boys to the Fire Dept “touch a truck” and they got to get in the Coast Guard helicopter, in the firetruck and ambulance and they even got to spray the firehose. They loved it.

Father’s Day was really nice, we had Papa come over for brunch and to open presents. They love their Papa! Next weekend is his birthday and all the boys have been practicing singing and asking every day if it’s his birthday yet.

I took the kids and Abbie down to the beach today to build sand castles. We were there forever and the kids splashed in the water, tried to dig up clams (ha!), and threw the ball for Abbie. Came home, all were seriously tired and hunkered down to eat and watch a movie.

Oh and BIG news….Carlos is going to sleep in his own bed, on his own now! WOO HOO! That’s been a year coming. He still crawls into our bed in the middle of the night, but at least he’s doing it on his own.

Off to bed!
