summertime, and the livin' is easy

These are just two of the many reasons I love the mid-summer season.

1. Unbelievably delicious fruit like this

because I put it on my oatmeal in the morning, topped with a little brown sugar, and it is TO DIE FOR. It may even be better than chocolate, which may shock Dave because he doesn't believe that phrase could possibly ever leave my mouth, but it's true.
But look. See? Doesn't it look yummy?

2. Shark Week.

It scares me half to death, but I love it.

I can't get enough of shark week. It's one of my favorite TV events, and I have many.

On a related note, we are planning on going to the beach this weekend--this time to Mustang Island instead of all the way down to South Padre. So naturally I look up the fishing down there and happen upon something called the Bob Hall Pier. It's actually right next to our hotel, which means very close to the actual beach where we will be swimming (or where we WERE going to be swimming). The Bob Hall Pier is like any other pier--you drop your bait over the side and reel up what bites it. The difference is that on the Bob Hall Pier, you can catch things like TEN FOOT TIGER SHARKS RIGHT OFF THE PIER. Um, I think we'll pass on the pier fishing--and the swimming. Check it out:

And Bull sharks (as in the ones that attack the most people in the US)

And hammerheads:

And Tarpon (not necessarily dangerous, but wow)

Joe-Yikes! But is that The Devil that caught the hammerhead shark?

I think you should not take your family into that water, just stick to making Charles eat sand.

You know how I can tell it's mid summer? Because my 2-month old nursing baby has started pooping regularly again because of all the yummy fruit I have been eating. I'm sorry, I know, TMI.

I'm totally with you on the fruit thing.

Jody, I don't know how to respond to that and I hope my parents don't read that...for your sake.

I know, I'm sorry. I think I hit "publish your comment" before I knew what I was doing.

I am forcing myself right now NOT to go into a huge long explination about Beck's BM's for fear of being blocked to ever post a comment again.

Isn't it natural for a mom to analyze thier babies diaper changes?
