One summer project that John actually finished is our new deck. Last night for dinner he grilled pizza. They work great on the grill believe it or not, and then we don't heat up the kitchen. Tre'sja's sister Tavia was on a roll playing with the kids yesterday afternoon so she stayed for dinner too. They walked her home about 9:30 last night while I was at a neighbor's impromptu porch party. I got to enjoy talking with a new "transplant" to the neighborhood from San Francisco - she's missing being able to walk to a coffee shop the most. We have places relatively close, but not really walking distance... Toledo hasn't got Starbuck's on every corner. Sigh.
We're heading out this afternoon for a week at Lake Michigan with some of our cousins, Grandma Muffin and Gumpy. We hope the temperature will be just right and that we packed enough sheets, towels, and pillows to be comfy at the rented house. We're looking forward to dinner in Saugatuck with Dave and Marty (they're buying the ice cream, we're buying the dinner - considering how much ice cream is consumed in this house, I think we got the better end of that deal).
We talked to Krystal yesterday and we're excited that she'll be coming back to Toledo in August and will be able to do afternoon babysitting 4 days a week. Thinking of signing back up for gymnastics on Tuesdays and trying to find someone to teach George piano lessons who is close by.
Nice to hear that our new cousin Emelia is doing very well. We sure wish we were closer so we could visit and hold her for a little while.
