Summer...

As was to be expected the winter in Kansas City was quite a different story than the Savannah winter that we had been used to. I actually liked it, I liked the snow, I loved staying in at night with a fire going…loved bundling up in winter clothes…I missed Winter. And for as much as I liked the real snowy Winter of KC I also loved the first signs of Spring…there is just nothing like seeing the trees all come to life after everything has looked so dead, dead, dead in the snow. And then, for us 4 season people comes the next big hurrah…Summer!

We packed up and drove to Montana on the first of June. We were on our usual trek to spend Summer at our little cabin in the mountains. The car ride would suffice to be a blog in and of itself…after the first day Scott went to Target and bought one of those car DVD players….something I said I would never do…if definitely helped us get through. We had one more day to go in our trip and we stopped at a cheap hotel for the last sleep before we’d get to the cabin. It had gone well and we were almost there…it was our 5 year anniversary and we talked and talked at dinner about how well the trip had gone…we were exhausted but we’d made it…David and Jonathan destroyed the restaurant, flinging cottage cheese everywhere and we didn’t even care…we were almost there! (a large tip was left for the waiter AND busboy I should add)

At least we thought we were almost there…We woke at 3am to Jonathan crying like crazy and we realized that he was crying because David was sick, throwing up all over the place. Poor David, Mr. Squiggly, just curled up in a ball on our bed and sobbed in between projectile vomiting…we decided the best thing to do was to just pack up and drive the last 6 hours…and so we made it, poor David felt better the next day and the summer in Montana had begun…

Summer has gone well, the boys continue to grow and change. David has become so enamored by guitars that he can’t be around one without touching it…Ok, that sounds too mild...David has become so wild about guitars that he will do anything in his power to get next to one, touch it, strum it AND pretty much anything he has in his hands BECOMES a guitar and is strummed by his fingers that can't wait to, one day, know and play a real guitar...yes, thats more like it. Jonathan has become so enamored by shoes that he can’t be around a pair without wearing them. Same as above with D but insert shoes and instead of strumming...walking. And so there we are...and we wonder when they will start to talk, and we look at 3 year olds and wonder what next summer will be like, and we think a lot about the future but mostly we laugh and we play and we enjoy the now of this one Summer of 2010.
