Hi all! Winter was long, spring was short and we are in full summer as it seems! Our kids are constantly barefoot, wearing shorts and T-shirts (though the girl has a sundress she likes to wear when feeling extra pretty ... with jewelry and colorful painted toenails) and enjoying their summer!

Recently it's very hot so I wear sandals to avoid burning my feet but my kids are all tougher than I am, running around with no difficulty on sunbaked asphalt and gravel. (They're also out and about more, I'm bound to the requirements of home office ...)

Their feet are getting better and better it seems! I still remember them taking their first steps outdoors on pudgy little bare baby feet years ago, now they have developed fine arches, straight toes, muscles and perfect little leather pads, sometimes muddy or black from the city streets, then again clean as they all love to spend the hot days swimming at the pool or lake, showing an even suntan all the way down to their toes.

It seems like it's really a task for us adults to keep up with them, and every day I can tell we have a bunch of really happy kids. Even the hottest day not wearing them out!

Autumn is still far away and I can predict that shoes and socks will only be rediscovered long after long pants and jackets.
