Summertime...basketball camp...reading glasses



One of the more frustrating things about this blog is the format of the text and the pictures. It seems that the easiest way to pull this off is to upload one pic at a time and type as I go to fill up the space.





Summer has started here at the Long house. We had some cool weather about a week ago or so, but that has passed and summer is here, with temperatures up into the 90°s. It was actually a bit humid today, with some isolated thunderstorms, which is unusual around here. Other unusual things that happen in the Northwest are meteor strikes (see my blog from February and Mariners WINS.



As far as our Mariners are concerned, we have the worst record in baseball. This is certainly the way to initiate my boys as Seattle sports fans. We hope to go back to another game this year, I think we're shooting for the outfield this time, maybe we can catch some balls (From the other team of course). :(






The first pic was taken a couple of nights ago when Becca was reading the boys a book before they went to bed. The second pic of course was taken when I blew out the candles on my cake.

Gavin played in basketball camp earlier this month, the rest of the summer will be our trip to Colorado, followed by swimming lessons for Gavin, Micah, and Brady in late July and August.
The last picture is further proof that 33 is near the end of the world. I'm wearing reading glasses when I'm on the computer or reading for a long time. That and I'm graying faster than either of my parents.
Well, that's all for now!
