Well my summer is almost halfway done and I can say it has been unusual. The most obvious difference is that there is a new kid in town, the baby. He has grown so fast in one month, almost two pounds since we left the hospital. We still can't tell what color his eyes are gonna be. Some days they are grey blue, some days green or even brownish. Baby J was born with brown hair, but it's beginningto fallout. Blonde hair in his future?

The other big difference is that for the first time in a decade, I'm not working during the summer. I have always had a second job as long as I have been teaching. Kind of miss it though, moneys has gotten tight and we're stuck at home for the moment.Thank goodness for Netflix. That's has nothing to do with a new baby, there has been too many birthdays, anniversaries and a beach trip all in June. It's just been a tough month. Matty said he worked at a fireworks stand for a while and I wonder if I can find a job similar to that, where I can just work a day or two, just for the summer. Just something to give me a little extra cash.
