They say that July and August are the price you pay for the weather Charlotte has the rest of the year. For some reason though, this year has been harder than the past ones. I’m considering moving to Maine or something like that, because for the past week or so, the heat index has regularly hit about 110, and that is for the birds. Luckily, we’ve been able to go to the pool most days, so we haven’t DIED.
The big news this summer is that both Izzy and Jake have learned how to swim enough that they don’t need floaties or life jackets or any of that foolishness to swim at the lake or at the neighborhood pool. It’s awesome to see them have a great time, and I am glad I don’t have to worry quite as much anymore (although the worrying never really ends, no matter how big they are)
I’m trying to get back into blogging regularly, but the past year or so (since I’ve slowed WAY down in my posting) has been hard on me. Hopefully, the worst is past, and I can get back to being the regular old HAPPY Bill that I like being.





I am glad to see a post from you Bill. The kids are as cute as ever, great pictures. It has been extremely hot everywhere this year so I don’t think a move to Maine would help. When the snow starts to fly in Maine this winter you will be glad to be where you are. Thinking good thoughts for you all.
