I spent all winter complaining.† Whining about the freakishly cold weather we were having.† It snowed here!† Multiple times!† All anyone did was wah wah wah.† We are still ‘wahing’.† Now about how HOT it is.† Freakishly hot even for Alabama in August.† I mean, I hate to never be satisfied but seriously.† A month of 60∞ – 70∞ here and there.† Is that too much to ask?

Since it has been so hot most of what we have done has been around either the pool or the AC.† We went to Epic swim party Saturday at Kenny’s house. † It was too hot to sit by the pool!† You had to actually be in the water.

Of course a break was taken for cake!

Kenny, our childrens’† pastor is so awesome.† He and his wife had 3 teenagers and adopted 5 kids!!† They were all brothers and sisters who didn’t want to be separated.† I so admire them for opening their homes and most importantly their hearts.

Kei spent some time strumming her guitar.† She is trying to learn “The House That Built Me” by Miranda Lambert. It is much more country than we usually like but it is such a beautiful song.† She still has the guitar she got when she was 6 from Santa.

Of course Kei and Nomad swam this week.† He seemed to like it a little more.† As much as he loves water, he doesn’t love the pool.† I know it is because he can’t find solid ground.† We put this big bucket in the pool and he seemed calmer.

So August has started out with 101∞ weather.† August is always our hottest month.† Everyone stay inside and stay cool!

Have a wonderful rest of the week,

“How sociable the garden was.
We ate and talked in given light.
The children put their toys to grass
All the warm wakeful August night.”
