This month seems to be flying by which is a great thing for me! As much as Derek and I love the summer ( hence our daughter's name) the last few years of summers have been hard. Derek goes off to California to sell pest control and I stay where ever I am to keep my job at Costco and our medical insurance. This year we are very fortunate because Derek is in Fresno, Ca and I am in Lancaster, Ca what that means it every Saturday after he works 4 hours he drives home and usually gets to Lancaster in between 5pm and 8pm. Then every Monday morning he leaves at 9am. It is such a blessing to have him home on the weekends, but here I am sitting here Monday morning depressed to see my husband leave! Derek has 5 weeks left of the 16 and I am just done, which I am sure he is too. Dewey summer sales is the worst best job of our life. It is the best pay in the amount of time, but such a hard job for Derek and me!
This weekend Summer was able to have some mashed potatoes for Sunday dinner. She would mash them in her hand and them suck her thumb. It took her a little while to finally decided to eat them! She is adorable!

Agreed.
That B&W mashed potatoe picture is so stinken cute. You are doing an amazing job and no doubt your kids will truly respect and admire the sacrifices you have been making these summers.
Aw! She is such a sweetheart!! You're doing better than I would during these summers! Hang in there!
