Well, summer is officially here for our family. It's supposed to be 80 degrees all week in Oklahoma City, and we have moved into our summer mode. To the left is a picture of one of the blooms on our hydrangea bushes. They are so pretty, and now there are a couple of hundred blooms - literally. Hooray - I got about half a dozen blooms all summer last year, so I'm thrilled! Will's last day of school is this Friday, and then the fun really begins - sandboxes, swimming pools, Popsicles, and Redhawks baseball games!
We had our first homestudy appointment this weekend. Our social worker was so kind and helpful. We really appreciate the people that work for Dillon - every single one has been kind, honest, and helpful. The homestudy interview felt very comfortable, and we got a lot of our lingering questions answered. We don't have our second interview for almost three weeks because of the Memorial Day holiday time, so we have to just sit back and wait. I guess that means more time for enjoying the garden and watching Will's summer fun. Bill & I are really trying to be intentional about enjoying our time with Will right now. We are, of course, so excited about the new baby, but we also have loved our time as a family of three. So, we're going to cherish these next few months as much as we can. (Oh, and we have promised ourselves to appreciate our current ability to sleep through the night! We know that one is going to go by the wayside for awhile when we come home with the new baby!)
Hope you all enjoy your summer too. Have a hot dog and a lemonade for us!

Enjoying time with your family as it is now is key! But don't worry too much about the sleeping through the night thing - our Reagan is the 2nd youngest ever to come home from Vietnam with Dillon and she's a fabulous sleeper (so far, that is!).
Love the picture of the blooms! I enjoy gardening so much. I get so excited every spring, because I get to start digging in the dirt! I can't wait to have a little helper next year!
