Summer Is Really Here!

Ah, the glorious days of summer in the San Juan Islands! You really can't find a more beautiful spot in the Pacific Northwest on a sunny day than here in the islands. The sun comes up early in the morning, flowers are blooming all over the place, school kids and spacey tourists are flooding the small streets of town, and Alexandria has grown so much that she can no longer sneak in to the kitchen without been seen! Nope, she is not able to hide behind the counter without being caught, because I can see her little head over the counter top now.

Yep, it seems like my little bean sprout is getting taller each day. She recently attended the British Soccer Challenge Camp. So Floyd and I watched her play dills and short games for five days. The kids were hilarious. It really didn't matter what positions they were assigned to, their general understanding was to go after the ball and get it in the goal. I watched the frustration on the older kids faces, but as competitive as they were they helped out the smaller kids a lot.

Floyd tried his first few spoons of rice cereal, to which he showed about as much excitement as I do when it's time to wake up for a red-eye ferry ride. I couldn't tell if he just didn't like it or if he just wasn't getting enough instant gratification from it. So he nursed and all was right in Floyd's world again.

There are some pictures below for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned for more later this week. We hope all is well with everyone and best wishes!
