Today was my day off. I didn't manage to take a nap until after the kids went to bed for the night. I couldn't just put myself to bed at 8pm, could I?? And I couldn't keep myself up past 8, so, I'll be up late tonight, practicing, probably.

Harlan and I enjoyed playing games with Joel while Jamie napped. Then we all picked blackberries in the backyard. Harlan made cobbler. He figured the only way to make it with fresher blackberries was to preheat the oven while we're picking them. We enjoyed the weather in our backyard chairs thinking about ways to fill our yard with more fruit. August really rocks here.
