I'm going to take a week break from blogging to get this summer jump-started.
We aren't taking vacation this year, but we plan on roller skating, making some art with chalk, catching the $1 movies, celebrating Emily's 8th birthday, and exploring on the beach. It's going to be awesome!
See you next week.
