The heat is on

Summer has officially arrived in Sacramento- today was our first hundred degree day. To cool off D filled up our pool and the kids and I splashed around for awhile after work. Savvy dumped her basket of plastic bracelets and mardi gras beads into the pool and they both had fun playing "mermaid jewelry" and scooping them out. Miles started out unhappy with the water temperature but quickly got accustomed and even started trying to put his face in the water. I think he'll be a natural swimmer just like his big sister.

This past weekend we had Matt, John, Cindy, Doreen and the kids over for dinner and a play date. The kids all played well together and ran between the backyard and the playroom until they crashed in front of a movie after dinner. It was great catching up and it makes me happy that Savvy and Miles have a group of buddies/cousins they'll grow up with over the years.

Tomorrow Puppet goes in for yet another mass removal surgery and ultrasound. This time around we should know whether she'll ultimately need chemo or if she'll be okay on her own. I feel bad putting her through another procedure when she's just started to heal from her last one. At some point enough is enough.

Anyway, here are the latest pictures of the fam. Hope the weather's a little cooler wherever you are tonight.
