Staying Cool

Well, summer is most definitely here, along with the 100+ temperatures.  We spend a lot of time inside right now.  We do try to get outside after dinner so the kids can play, but days are LONG.  I'm ready for autumn already.

But, staying inside has it's perks.  It's great for taking naps under a recently completed quilt (this one has quickly become a family favorite):


I actually was just drifting into a blissful slumber in this picture, and then my husband took this picture. Woke me up, and then Gabriel came running out from his nap a few short minutes later.  : /  I rarely try to take a nap so I was a bit peeved at the time.  It is a sweet photo though...my little nap pal over there camouflaged on the couch.

During hot weather days I also go to get my hair done at the fabulous Lorelai Salon.

She's been working on her up-dos.  She's making fabulous progress.

This weekend an old high school pal of mine was in town visiting.  Such fun!  I wish more of my TX friends would come to visit.  I miss them.  I hope to find a time to meet up with Brooke in the Dallas area.  Yesterday Gabriel had a temperature of 103.  :(  Today he seems fine though.  No fever or any other signs of illness other than a stuffy nose.  We're taking it easy.
