Somehow, it seems, summer is flying right by. And I’m afraid that, before we know it, we’ll be trekking back to school to meet the teachers and starting another whole school year once again — which will, somehow, fly right by, too.

So, it seems about time to ask: How’s your summer shaping up? I’ll go first: Ours is going quite well. Piano lessons, swimming, beaching, boating, movie-going, and more fills our days. There are also late nights, and late mornings, and a really relaxed feel to our days off. It’s not all fun and games, though. You might agree. There’s bickering and fighting and begging and, yes, the dreaded “what can I do now?” boredom! It’s really quite frustrating at times, and if you want the whole scoop, you can read all about my summer stresses right here. Then, please, weigh in on summer at your house!
