And what a great summer it’s been!

While the weather has been cooler than most years, it’s actually been wonderful… not quite as hot and humid.   And fewer late afternoon thunderstorms.

We’ve spent most of our days at the park and at the beaches.  Here’s Tabytha her first time out on rollerblades.   She didn’t fall, not even once.

Austin, on the other hand, was trying to show off and landed  on his keister a few times.

And then there’s my big kid…

Our summertime friends were back again to visit.  Some days they fly in by the hundreds.

It seems like summer just started and here we are with only one more week until it’s back to school for the kids.

Hard to believe Austin will be in the eighth grade – one more year until high school – and Tabytha starts grade one.   She’s so excited to be one of the big kids now.

As am I…

It’s been 13 years since I’ve had my days to myself.   It’s hard to imagine.  What will I do?
