We have reached our 3rd week in Bemus. In previous summers, this would be about the time we would head back home. So crazy, we ARE home! Is it possible that every week that passes we love it here even more? Despite the sudden heat and humidity of this week (which thankfully lasted only 3 days), we are enjoying our time as a family and already into the swing of things. I love going to my weekly Zumba classes at the Y, Taj and Jax love their walks on Lakeside Drive, swinging at the playground, going with me to Wegman's grocery store, and seeing the familiar faces of our friends.
Our 3rd week began with a nice, relaxing Father's Day. Brad has really outdone himself this year as a loving father and husband. The boys and I are so grateful to him for how hard he works for us, and for giving us such a beautiful family life and dream home. This has been a big year for us as a family, and also for him, he turns 40 in a month!! I'm so proud of my husband, and love him more every year and every chapter of our ever evolving marriage and life. I love watching him with the boys, it makes my heart melt with joy. I love just how much he cares and does anything and everything for us! He is such a brilliant man!
Here is daddy with his boys:
We even got to see our new house last Thursday evening, when the current owners invited us over for some wine. I hadn't been inside the house since last summer, and I didn't want to impose obviously because we just went through this ourselves with the Iris condo. But I gotta tell you, seeing it again after a year, and now that its all so real, i got very teary-eyed. The house was bigger, the ceilings were taller, the rooms and porch wider. It was all more beautiful then i remember and photos really don't do it justice. I can't believe that we will be moving into this absolutely cool home in about 3 weeks... we are in our halfway mark and are becoming impatient.
On Saturday, we used one of our babysitter referrals, and our friend's friend's daughter Hope came over to meet the boys, and then after we put them to bed I went to go pick her up, and she baby-sat for us while we went out to a romantic dinner at the Italian Fisherman. I have to admit I was a little nervous leaving the boys with a 14 year old, but she impressed me. When Taj woke up randomly and cried out for me, Hope knew exactly what to do and was able to comfort him right away and he fell back asleep. I don't know if anyone could ever fill our CA babysitter Sam's shoes, but I was happy Hope did well for her first night and we were able to enjoy ourselves. We finally celebrated our move and the beginning of our new life. Our friends even came over for drinks after I drove Hope home, and we ended having an even more fun night.

Then this morning, we took our boys out for breakfast at yet another breakfast place (we have gone to 3 now, it seems like every weekend), and afterward stopped over to see Brad's friend's parents. Taj had a blast playing with their dog Maggie.
Another week is behind us as I write this post, and actually as I'm writing this its worth to mention that this evening we are having the most insane lighting storm. The thunder is the loudest that I have ever heard, and now we have a downpour of rain! Hello NY weather, ha! From absolutely gorgeous sunny days, to way hot humid days, to the awesome tropical rain storms, I am loving the weather sampler... never a dull day!
