Is it summer yet???

For some reason, I have always marked the start of summer with Memorial Day Weekend....so here it is and is it summer yet??? The weather has finally turned beautiful and warm and everything is blooming (just ask Matt's allergies). We actually had to turn on our air this week because it was so warm out!!

These are our late May/June plans so far:
-a trip to the Milwaukee Zoo with the Davis'
-a garage sale
-celebrating Grandma J's birthday
-many playdates and park dates with friends
-a trip to Brookfield Zoo for a fundrasier 5k and then fun at the zoo
-a visit from GG, Auntie Kristen and Cousin Drew
-Papa Bill's Sonshine Singer Concert at CY Steven's in Ames (um yes, I can get you tickets if you would like to go...I know people)
-trips to the pool
-playing in the backyard in the baby pool
-who knows what else we will get into!!!

I generally mark the middle of summer with the 4th of July. We are trying to figure out our 4th plans...they may involve a little mini-cation but not sure yet!
-In the mean time however, we are continuing to get things (and our minds) ready for baby boy to join our family! We are starting to near the less than 100 day mark (and yes, we are getting anxious already!). I am just waiting for the OB's office to schedule my c-section. It will be sometime during week 39, which is the week starting Sept 1!

Which means, by Labor Day 2009 (which I mark as the END of summer), we will be a family of 4!!!!! Don't you think that's a wonderful way to start the fall (and hello football season!!!!!!!!!!)

What are your summer plans this year?

Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!!!
love
