Roots and Branches

The summer looms ever closer, and with it comes the busiest season at work. Honestly, the busiest season is already underway but I always deny it until June 3^rd. I have been blessed/cursed with the ability to make successful summer programs for kids. Camp is upon us, and by some mysterious atmospheric shift, I am over two now rather than one, among other things. I do recall this time last year vowing it would be my last camp ever; apparently I didn’t put my foot down. I like being gainfully employed in my field of work.

To prepare for the annual insanity I’m packing in as much family and friend time as possible, and crafting strategies to make sure that I don’t shortchange the most important folks in my life when I am extra pressed for time. Mike has been pretty darn sweet per usual. These last two working weekends he and Lu have come to the park with me and helped. I can’t imagine I’d be of much use in his workplace J. We’ve had an extremely eventful 2012 so far. From 1^st birthday to Aunt B’s wedding and parties and festivals in between this has been a year full of action. Mother’s day weekend is the most relaxed weekend of the year so far. Thanks universe and magical spouse. Plus Lu is napping on my arm right now. Feeling full of gratitude. Here are some shots of the year so far (not exactly in order).
