Happy Firefly Spotting Day!

YEAH – I saw my first firefly of the season today – yahoo!!!

Had a fun boat cruise tonight. The weather has been so Michigan-y lately (ie – beautiful during the day and storms starting at about 5p) that we haven’t been out on the boat all week. For as crazy as life has been the past 2-3 weeks with Rick’s work schedule, it was nice to just hang out. It was hot enough that Rick & Mallory jumped in for a quick swim and we realized that Mallory’s life jacket (aka “Boat Coat” – I am so clever!) works. She was trying to swim and kick her legs and everything – it was great. Notice the fountain of hair ponytail Mallory has on top of her head, courtesy of the daycare ladies. How in the world they get her to sit still long enough to do that…I have no idea.

We are headed south this weekend so Rick can do a Triathlon in his hometown. This is a warm-up for one he’ll do later this summer. Mallory will get to see her Grandma – I can’t wait to see what she thinks of how much Mallory has grown and how much she has learned since she saw her last.

I had lots more to say but it’s late. I’m out.
