Points

• Life just keeps right on going whether or not you are involved.
• Erik has conducted 2 funerals within the past several weeks.
• He had never been to an LDS funeral before that.
• Summer vacation is going well down here.  I have scheduled out our days and each day has specific chores and a specific fun thing (ex: library day, swimming days, friends over day, hot lunch day, mom is going to stay awake day, do a service day, Independence Day, hop on one foot day, opposite day, etc day), and there is quiet time where much reading and coloring and puzzling takes place.
• Today being Friday, it is "Adventure Day".  This is where I get to choose a fun outing for us.  I'm not sure what we are going to do yet, but it feels like it's going to be exciting.
• I have recently learned that I am quite the proficient at Connect 4.  None of my kids can beat me!
• Estelle is a 6 month old.  Yikes!  You know what?  I need to get portraits done of her.  She hasn't had a nice photo shoot yet.  
• Speaking of photos.  A while back, I lost all of my pictures when our computer crashed.  This wouldn't have been too sad if I hadn't lost years worth of pictures several years ago.  Henry had zero prints and Sam and Kenzie had up until age 4 and 2 respectively.  I cried.  Then I asked my parents if they could save any and all photos of my kids.  They sent me a flash drive with hundreds of photos, so between that and what I had on my laptop and what I had on my blog, I was able to get 580 prints made.  I then bought the photo books and after many hours of organizing and placing them, I have photo books for my kids!  
• Guess which child I left out of this?  
• I forgot to buy a book for Estelle.
• Just when I thought I was making progress toward being a good mom....
• At least it is only 6 months worth and not 5 years like the rest of them.
• bullet points are fun.  I think in the future, everyone is going to be using them.
