Livin' On A Prayer

One day, I'll update y'all on the bigger goings-on around here...I swear!  For now, my time is limited, and I know it'll even out eventually.  So, the thing is, at least I'm posting, right?  Right.

So, here I sit this morning, minding my own business and working at my home office.  I've got iTunes going as always, and all of a sudden, something catches my attention.  "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi has just ended, but I still hear the melody.

I pause my music and turn to my left.  The Princess is singing the song that was just playing.  With gusto.

I've been telling people for a while that our girl is a music lover.  Most of her waking hours are spent singing to herself, us, the dogs, anyone who will listen, really...and we all love it.  But the thing is, this is a song that we don't always listen to.  It's not a repetition thing.  She heard the melody and liked it so much, she kept it going after the song was over.

I am in awe.

I know I don't say it enough, so here it is in writing: I.  Love.  My.  Life.

Later that same day: According to The Hubbs, our little Princess was belting the song out at the top of her lungs in the library.  The melody was so obvious to those around her that there was no question as to what she was getting at.  And she's still singing it as I type this note.  :)

The Lake...


...is what our summer is all about this year.  How about you?

It seems that we have the perfect place for The Princess mere blocks away from home.  It's a texture wonderland, between the sandy beach, tons of water, and rocks on the bottom.  She's taken to launching herself off of us in true daredevil style, and I don't think I've ever had more fun in my life.

Oh, and water wings?  We don't need no stinking water wings.
