Heat!

After one of the longest, coldest winters on record we have gone on to one of the hottest, driest summers. Most days have been in the 90s with a relatively high humidity. I was looking forward to going to some of the festivals here in town this summer, but I don't really enjoy roasting out in the sun and Emma gets rather cranky when she is out for a while so we've been spending a lot of time having playdates at friends houses. It's so wonderful to have so many great friends now who also have small children around Emma's age. We can get together and talk while the kids play. It's helping Emma learn how to share and it is good for my sanity not to be cooped up all the time! I was looking forward to taking her to the splash pad this summer, but since she's not walking, that's not really an option! There's always next summer!
