Hot summer day

But, it's not even summer yet, according to the calendar.

This week has been pretty hot and humid, so the kids got to play in the pool and had lots of fun.

We've really been enjoying having Matt home with us this week. It's going to be hard on ALL of us when he has to go back to work. He's been a regular handyman this week, doing lots of jobs around the house. Last week, Matt and his dad sanded down the bottoms of 2 of our doors (the carpet was too tall/thick so they wouldn't shut and were hard to close) so they close fabulously now. Matt's taken out a ceiling fan (Jon you can thank us the next time you're here!) and put in one that is flush with the ceiling. He replaced something in one of the toilets. He put down top soil, then put down grass seed. Right now he's working on someones birthday present with his dad. He got to go to lunch bunch with us on Thursday, that might be the only time we go this summer, seeing as how Ben is quite active and wants to be involved in everything. He's temorarily fixed our pantry door. I know he's done other things, but right now they just aren't coming to mind. We're going to miss you next week babe!

This has been Benson's face for the last few days. He does smile, but lately he has more of a concerned look about him.

Everything is always more fun with a buddy. Ally and Ben have been getting along great lately and play so well together.
