They have been moving at top speed this week.  Lots of giggling, running laps in the yard (and the upstairs and the living room and…), funny voices, loud singing to 15 renditions of Old MacDonald played on the piano by Brendan. 

I looked at the three of them in mid-flight today – hair all wild, faces erupting with smiles. You just have to smile back.  Happy like that is contagious.

We did settle down for some stories today. 

Some with Mom.  (pic by Brendan ; )) 

Some they read to each other. 

And sometimes you just close your eyes and soak it all in.  Summer is good.
