summer mornings

Normally mornings are not our favorite time of day. Most of the year, Trav and Gwen need to leave the house by 7a.m. to beat the traffic and get to work on time. Its early, we're all pretty tired, and always a little rushed.
 
However their summer schedule is pretty wonderful. To save some money, Trav talked to his boss about coming in at 9 instead of 8 for the summer months, so we wouldn't need before care. That combine with the lessened traffic in the summer (plus being able to drive normal speed through what would normally be 3 school zones!) means that the drive takes a lot shorter time, and they don't have to leave until 8:15! What a difference!!

I am working from home today, so this morning Gwen and I slept until 7 a.m., then had time to eat breakfast and goof off and play for a while before they had to leave. It was so relaxed and nice. 

You know, even though summer still means work for Trav and I, these changes (plus the days off) are really shaping up to make this summer feel like something different and special.
