Summer 2014

Summer is my favorite season of the year.  I love the freedom, sandy beach days, tanned skin, sleeping in, grilling, trips, warm nights, and moody thunder storms.  By September/October I’m sick of the heat; but during June, July, and August I’m loving it.

Last summer we had a long Summer Fun List on our fridge that kept us busy and entertained – parks, beaches, crafts, visiting friends, and other iconic summer activities. The summer of 2014 was all about house projects, moving, and girls camp. The kids didn’t seem to notice the lack of recreation, thankfully. They stayed busy rediscovering their toys, reading books, playing in the pool, and helping with house projects.

A few pictures from our summer:

Pool play time.

School has started up again and it’s nice to have a little more free time.  Sadie and Jax were getting pretty restless by the end of summer so it’s great to know they’re happily engaged in more meaningful activities.

Good bye summer!  I will miss you.  See you next year.
