Ready or not, here comes Summer!

The school year came to an end and so began another hot Texas summer! The boys have been running, sweating, and cooling off in the only way you can do it down here. Beach time or backyard sprinklers are required when the heat index begins to rise. The summer has already been busy with baseball and whatnot, but we're having a good time. Honestly, it's been fairly mild so far, so we're not complaining...



Another school year down for these two... thankfully still a long way to go.

 

When we got back from Missouri the boys spent a good portion of a week attending the baseball camp put on by the Corpus Christi Hooks players.





Paul spent the camp sweating in the bleachers and out beyond right field...



Nothing like summer beach nights...



And when you can't hit the beach I guess you hit the pool...



But we did finally get some rain this past week... a little too much maybe. That just means we're bracing for humidity and mosquitoes... welcome to summer!

Memorial Day in Missouri

We got to spend an extended weekend in Missouri for Memorial Day. Unfortunately, it was hotter than we had hoped, but the kids had a great time running around and sweating together. They played some baseball, played some Risk, ate some barbecue, and hid inside in the air conditioning together. Here are some of the highlights:

Liam just chilling...

Congrats to Cousin Josie!

We were grateful to be able to make the drive up to Missouri again to witness the graduation of yet another Miller kid. Two years ago, we made the drive up for Wyatt, but this time it was Josie's turn. She's "an adult" now, in her own words. We made it just in time for the party, after picking up my brother and cousin Mason at the airport in Kansas City. It was hot. And it was humid. To say the least. But it was a great time seeing everyone again, as it's been too far between visits the past couple of years...

Even Great-Grandma Steele made it out for the event!


A huge congrats to the eldest Miller daughter!
