Messy house, happy family.

The first days of summer may look like total fail to outsiders, but we have had some good days. Julia is visiting with her uncle and aunt in Colorado, which was a generous 13th birthday gift from them. Joe and I have spent our days relaxing, watching movies, entertaining family, swimming, cooking, organizing, and doing laundry. His favorite days have been the ones that involved chores and play. I think that's a good formula for the summer.
