sweet sweet summer

This morning CJ and I rode our bikes to meet some friends at a local donut shop then back to Greenlake for a swim in the lake. This summer I have been pinching myself that we live a skip-hop-jump from the park and lake.

The weather's heating up again but I WILL NOT COMPLAIN because summer is zooooming by... every day I check my calendar and can't help but notice how the weeks are ticking by... only three weeks till school kicks up again! We have so enjoyed not having to keep a regular schedule and spending our days outside... I don't want it to end. But it will end... and so I am determined to enjoy the lazy warmth of summer while it's here.

Maureen, Steve, and Baby North have been living with us while they wait to close on their house. CJ loves having a baby in the house (and does remarkably well with him!) I like it too especially since when he cries I just stay smugly in my sweet bed. Maybe babies aren't so bad after all.


We've enjoyed a couple of wonderful camping trips... at Deception Pass and Scenic Beach.


A couple of weeks ago we enjoyed a fun adults-only weekend on Gato Verde, a 42' catamaran that we chartered with the B-burns to sail around the San Juan islands. From that trip I learned that boats are cool and also my in-laws are CUHRAZY! (but I already knew that.) Jay learned that we need to buy a boat so I'm eagerly waiting for him to start making the big bucks.
