Summer

We plan toomuch and must just have fun

As summer approaches, we appreciate the longer days and some relaxation.  There may be vacation time off from work and the kids are out of school.  Of course, for us working parents tit presents more childcare issues.  Remember to savor the moments; running through the sprinklers with the kids, an iced tea on the back deck, taking in a Blue Fish Game and visiting the beach.  It is too short not to enjoy. Have fun but do not plan 3 events on weekend days.  Must the kids each have several activities?  We are fortunate and live in a neighborhood where the kids on the street play together.  Most weeknights, our neighbors show up on the door and inquire if our son can go to their house. 

Jack will be seven in a few weeks and I remeber his infant stage as if it was yestersday.  Enjoy the moment; don't dwell on the past or worry about the future.  Now, I am taking my son to the playground as it is  a gorgeous spring day.
