The month of June, that is! (And specifically the days that come after the last day of school!)
What a spectacular start of summer we've had. It's raining as I type this, which is why I am finally sitting at the computer doing a slightly overdue blog update. It's just been so gloriously, fabulously beautiful that we haven't wanted to be inside at all. Oh, and for a few days it was so unbelievably hot we didn't want to do much besides go to the beach. And because it was so hot for a stretch last week, we began a new beach routine: down to the beach at 9:30 with lots of snacks and drinks and back by 12:30. Everyone comes back full, tired, and happy. Then it's nap time for the wee ones. When the boys wake up around 2:30 we can either go back to the beach or do something else. Brilliant (and, yes, it is quite the life we live in the summer, I know).
Summer started with blue skies, sunshine, and sand on our neighborhood beach. Hooray! This is not always the case--in rainy years, we sometimes don't see beach down there until August. So, it's been an epic June and it's now safe to say we're all in summer mode. Viva Vermont...until we head to Michigan!

| The boys are finally becoming the water babies I knew they would be. I am excited to see how this translates on Lake Michigan where it's not usually this calm. I'm hopeful they'll be little fish this year! |
 |
| Patrick's favorite activity is to reach in the water, pick up rocks and throw them or collect them on the beach. What is it with boys and throwing rocks and sticks?! |
 |
| This is a pretty signature look for Patrick. Just thought I should keep it real on here. They are NOT perfectly behaved children. :-) Can you hear the whine that accompanied this look? |

I don't know why Will wanted to wear this--it's about three sizes too big, but he likes it and said it felt comfortable. We found it on the beach last year and brought it home and washed it. Is that wrong? It had been sitting there for days! A hand-me-down of a different variety.
And now for the brother shots...two versions are included of about 12 that I took! |
 |
| This one is for Will. |
 |
| And this one, obviously, is for Patrick. It's hard to get them both looking at the same time, even after a dozen tries. |

There's no escaping the warmth of summer, days spent playing in open bodies of water, bikes, outdoor picnics,boat rides, parades, fireworks,open windows, and longer days!!!!!
