Summer as of yet....

Well I've time for a short and sweet commentary up to this point in time. I have been extremely on the run since the week before last and I at this point can’t keep up with the date and time.

Over a course of 8 days non-stop we went down to southern Idaho to visit the new member of the family.. Steven Walter Smith born June 1, 2007. Very Cute and what a doll! I go my baby fix and lots of kisses in. We then traveled up to the parents for some Morrelling with Grandpa and the kids. What a blast. It was like an Easter egg hunt for them. They got dirty and tired but had a lot of fun! We then traveled back home the next day for football camp that Tristan was participating in that was 2 hrs away. We did that for 3 days in the morning, baseball games in the evening and work in between. And after that calmed down…work came up… lots of it. You’d think with the really nice weather people would consider hanging around. Anyway here I am now trying to get caught up, looking out at the beautiful weather wishing I was playing.

So how has everyone else been holding under the summer strain? I hope you all are enjoying it more that I have been able to, that way I know someone at least is and there may be hope for me yet. All for now Ta! Ta! Ilena….

Restful Sunday.

My goodness it has been a busy month already. Although I have to say my family and I took all day Sunday to ourselves and went boating. It was just beautiful, 94 and sunny. The water was still a little chilly but nothing us brave outdoor types can't handle. I've pictures of the boys in the boat and one of me trying my best to hide from the camera. I believe the whole town turned out on the one little dock and everyone had a wonderful time visiting and catching up. It was nice just to lay around, eat, drink, read a book, watch people and enjoy the outdoors.

Trevor GRAD-GEE-ATED (as Trevor puts it). He was pretty proud of himself and very excited to go off to kindergarten. He was very cutie in their musical production and nary missed a note. He picked Dad to come up and do a number with him along with all the other kids and their parents. How did I get so lucky to get off the hook?!

I believe it is another turning point in my life with things going the way they are. I have a few friends here but only a few close….I am a loner most times with a book stuck in my face. One is getting divorced…and it is for the best..the other is moving 3 hours away…..also for the best. I am very supportive of both and behind them all the way BUT I am feeling sorry for myself because they are all I have for close friends and their lives are changing and so is the dynamic in which we are friends. I know that it will be fine but I feel so.... well... abandoned. I think I feel better now that I've said it. Well enough of the pity party I’ve work to do, people to call, things to file, records to input, rooms to vacuum….etc You get the picture. Thanks for listening….IlenaJ
