Let Summer Begin!!

I remember this time last year I was so nervous to face a summer with three kids alone. I remember wishing Joe could stay in school just so it could help me out. Now I was so excited for him to get out!! What a difference a year makes! Even Big Joe will get a break from work. His class graduates on 10 June and he gets about 3 weeks off before his next class comes in :). The kids and I are already loving the water park on post. Little Joe is really starting to swim well. I'm thinking by the end of the summer I can let him swim anywhere in the pool without me being 10 feet away. Big Joe's Mom and older brother will be here this week for a visit :). We plan on making several day trips around northern Kentucky, including the Louisville Zoo and Mammoth Cave, so it should be tons of fun. And Joe and I have attended a couple of balls. It's been a while since we've been able to get dressed up and go out because of deployments. It's been busy but fun.

Even summer time can wear a kid out :)

My business is doing well as well. I have at least one order a week and I have actually hit the point where I am making money over the investment that I made to start the business. Yay!!!! My next step to to get a combo embroidery/sewing machine and custom make some blankets and burp clothes to add to the cakes. My sewing machine has pretty much gone ca put and I miss making things. Can't wait to add this addition to the house and the business!
