It's Sum, Sum, Summertime!

So, I'm not a very good blogger. I'm coming to terms with it. But now that we are in Utah for the summer, I'm (once again) trying to start afresh and turn over a new leaf or two.

Billy was selected for a summer fellowship teaching position at BYU, so we are living in Provo for the summer... and enjoying every minute of it. I think we all needed a change of pace! The warmth, beautiful mountains and canyons, and long summer days have been very rejuvenating. We've only been here a week but have already packed in a lot: completed a week of swimming lessons, reconnected with friends (Smith's, Jackson's, Earl's & Stanfield's), discovered a new, great library, enjoyed a little country with the boys catching chickens and feeding horses & Grace swinging on a hammock under shady trees, visited Billy after he settled into his fancy office, took a family hike up Rock Canyon and to the "Y," went bowling on campus, and indulged on ice cream from the "Creamery on 9th"... along with the usual fun summer stuff like bike rides, popsicles, running through the sprinklers, park trips, and lazy warm evenings. Phew! No wonder all the boys were asleep by 7:30 pm tonight, including Daddy!
