Yesterday afternoon Dan, Jack and I were cooling off in the pool when I realized it was the first quiet moment we’ve had all month. We were too tired for much conversation, but we all had smiles on our faces. Massachusetts, Block Island, Colorado, New Mexico, a party for Jack’s school friends to celebrate his 21st birthday, and more houseguests that I can count. We are all exhausted, but grateful for everyone in our lives who helped make all this fun happen.

For a family with more than our share of “complications”, we always seem to have a lot to celebrate. I’ll write more details about our summer adventures (and some exciting things coming up in August), but for now I will share some photos. Enjoy!!!

Love, Jess

PS Anna didn’t enjoy our quiet swim yesterday, because she had left for Block Island for a couple of weeks. When I grow up, I want to be Anna;)
