Hot Day

It got up into the mid-80's here today. By our standards, this is a "scorcher". Rebecca was visiting from Colorado, Jen & her girls came over, and we celebrated with a dip in our little pool. Clara was a little confused - we had swim classes this weekend, so I think she was expecting the big pool. But she loved it. When we went to gymnastics later, she checked in again: "poool?" "wah-da?" (water).

Before the little pool, as the day was heating up, Clara & I went off for a walk. I loved the colors: her yellow-orange-purple ensemble, plus the green fence, the red truck, or the red playground equipment.

I'm going to miss these family Mondays. In September I start back full time. We haven't completely decided what my schedule will be like, but it's unlikely it will involve weekly family Mondays. I might be able to pull off bi-weekly family days, but the tradeoff is longer work days, which means less evening and/or morning family time. Too bad I like my job. Too bad they don't have a part time version of my position. Luckily, though, I have a job, with amazing benefits.
