Summer is over for us. The kids went back to school on August 16th. What did I learn on my summer vacation? I learned it is difficult for me to write when I have my kids 24/7. They exhausted me (mostly in a good way)! So, I had little time to write but lots of time to enjoy my kids.
Here are some highlights of our summer:
Chelsea’s dance recital in the beginning of June.
Trip to NY in June.
My favorite thing about NY (beside seeing my family). The best pizza in the world (IMHO).
Hanging out with my new friend at Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory in S. Deerfield, MA.
If you love butterflies, check out Magic Wings. Thousands of beautiful creations flying all around you and sometimes landing on you. (My kids weren’t too excited about the landing-on-you part.)
Free car wash for Mommy!
Caleb’s third year of baseball at the Y.
Fifth tooth lost while Mommy was at She Speaks. Daddy had to be the Tooth Fairy!
Romantic weekend get-away to Chateau Elan for our 10th anniversary. Woohoo!
Summer was also days at the pool, s’mores, running through the sprinkler, 4th of July concert and fireworks, morning devotions, playgrounds, Friday nights at Grandma’s, reading time, Backyard Bible Club, picnics, the zoo with friends, a day at the water park, and lots of ice cream!
LOVE ♥ your mommy stuff ♥
Hi there! Saw you on twitter so dropped in…beautiful family and photos! I was born and raised in NY but haven’t lived there in years. Nice to know that the pizza is still the best on the planet! It was when I left in my late 20′s long ago.
Said a prayer for your health as I saw on your twitter profile that you were on a journey toward better health.
Blessings to you and your family!
Welcome back and super pictures.
I had to take a couple week hiatus this August as well–our kids had other plans for me than looking at a computer.
