Today the girls came over to swim. Emma, Ashlyn, Gracie & Mason had a great time splashing in the 92 degree pool while Ashley, Erin, Joni & I chit-chatted. So fun! Mason got all tired out, and took a nap when they all left. That meant I had extra pool time -- just me and my book! I'm reading Cutting For Stone by Abrahan Berghese. So good. Just finished Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls, and it's one of my favorites for sure. Lily Casey reminds me a lot of my grandma. I wonder if they would have been friends if they had ever met.

Mason and Brandon are wrestling on the family room floor as I type. There's nothing better than the gut-laugh of a 17 month old little boy to make life seem so perfect.
