WOW! What a summer!
We started our summer (May) with a cross country road trip with our kiddos :) It was a lot of work, but so worth it in the end! We got to spend time with family and friends across several states. Driving is more work than flying, but so much cheaper in the end. It can be done, friends - and even can be *gasp* enjoyable!
When we got back home, we started working on a playhouse for our girls. Kate and I designed it, and David built it. It took MUCH longer than either of us ever imagined, but it is pretty much done now and the kids really love to play in it! Kate's favorite part was choosing the paint colors and then helping me to paint the inside. Oh - and I broke my toe!!
July brought the first birthday party of our sweet niece, an incredibly hot Independence Day, and then the wedding of some sweet friends.
August was spent getting ready for my 30th birthday -- I think my Dad is having a harder time with the fact that his child is 30 than I am!! We had a fantastic time with friends, enjoying the back yard (cooler weather too) and chatting. It was the perfect way to spend my birthday.
That brings us to September, the start of our homeschooling adventure. Kate is officially in preschool and we are loving the ability to teach her at home and I really love watching her learn and grasp new things.
I am also back to blogging - so many thoughts rolling around in my mind, if you have thoughts on anything in particular you'd like to see - let me know!! It's fun to be back, my friends!
