The Last Days of Summer

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Camilla and I enjoyed some time outside.  We enjoyed the blue sky and the heat of the sun.  For a while there, it felt like the middle of September.  Luckily, there's still a few days left of summer.  I mowed the lawn the other day, so it was nice to lay on the grass in the backyard and look at the sky and watch Camilla toddle around.
She walked around the yard saying "BAA-oh" "BAA-oh" (Ball) it kinda sounds like "BOW" I guess.  She loves balls.  She loves to kick them and throw them and hold them.  It's cute.  Future sports star here!! ;)


I enjoyed watching her and thinking and sitting under the sun.  It was a beautiful day! I thought about how much I missed Mr. Stannix and how excited I am that we leave for vacation on Friday.  Just the 2 of us, er, three of us.  It will be nice to spend that time with Mike.  I also thought about what a joy it is to watch Camilla run around and have fun.  She really loves the outdoors.


Later on, we played inside.  I had a mount everest of dishes to do again, and it took a while.  Camilla occupied herself with this nifty bowl.
She then helped Daddy set up his Elliptical.  Giant boxes really do make the best toys.  She had fun in it for a while.  It was a very good day.  Today, I have some errands to run and things to get for our trip.  I have a packing list that's 1000 things long to start packing, and some laundry to do.  I can't believe tomorrow is Mike's last day of work.  Back to school he goes.  It will be nice having him around a little more.

One more day until we head out.  Can't wait to smell the ocean and hear the waves crashing in.  My favorite!

I was wondering what that box was from! Big boxes are so much fun to play in! Good luck on your trip! Can't wait to hear of your adventures!
