Summer is in full swing, even though the weather doesn't always show it. We are having a blast with Grandma and Grandpa here, and mom actually has had some time to relax and catch up with her friends. Here are some new pictures of the kids.

The kid's babysitter, Lynda, took these pictures of the kids, they turned out fantastic.
The school year is coming to an end and they say that we will see summer weather sometime soon. I really hope so. The kids are becoming true siblings, ie. they are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Jaina is certainly holding her own with Rob, and with everyone else. In fact, Rob suggested to me a couple of weeks ago that we buy Jaina a little house for her to live in, because she always takes his stuff. Pretty good logic for a 4 year old. The kids are loving their new sitter, they are so happy there, and come home in much better moods than they did from the daycare. They do all kinds of things, go to the park, bake cookies, help make meals and snacks, and run through the sprinkler on those rare occasions that it has been warm enough. Mom is (possibly, maybe) going to be teaching a jewelry making class in summer school this summer, but Grandma and Grandpa are planning on coming down, so the kids will be well entertained while Mom's at work.

Sigh. There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done, and unfortunately, blogging seems to be at the bottom of the list. We are relatively settled now in our new place, and Rob and Jaina love their new sitter. She watches them at her house, and she is wonderful. Rob helps her cook, they play outside, and the even went to the zoo the other day. They both seem really happy there, and are excited to go in the morning.

So, what's new with the kids? Well, Rob amazes me every day with the things he can do, and the things he comes up with to say. His favorite line now is "Mom, are you kidding me?". He still loves his trains, riding his bike, and generally running around being silly. Jaina is developing her own little personality, it can best be described as sweet and sassy. She is already definitely holding her own with her brother.
