Time Flies

Taylor, Anna, and Hudson,

We are one week from the first day of school.  

One week!  

Where did the summer go?  

Well, you won't find much of it here.  

Life took over, and typing and writing were not the priority.... 

which is a good thing.

Daddy and I have paused many times this summer to mark little milestones and moments:

- A great time with cousins

-Trips to SLO and Arnold

-Daddy has been all over South America and Japan, 

and most of California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho

-Two kids to sleep-away-camp- without any trouble at all

- Hudson gave up the baba and his crib this summer

-Hudson let go of his encompassing fear of water and jumped into the Elk's club pool 

with both feet.  BOTH POOLS!  The deep end of the big pool too! 

-Anna got her retainer

-This house is CLEAN and clutter free!  Can you believe it?  

CLUTTER FREE.  

We have worked really really hard on this.  

Closets are clean. Drawers are clean. Bathroom drawers are clean.  

Kitchen cabinets are organized.  Systems are in place. 

We have taken MANY trips to Goodwill and the dump.

- We have made healthy, nutritious meals and snacks.  

-We have purchased and organized school supplies and uniforms- EARLY!

All of this on top of lazy days and great times with friends and family.

I would say that we have had a great summer!

Now, since I am not going to go back and cover all of the moments in separate posts.

Here are the pics for all of it.

In no particular order.

Here is to a great fall.

xoxo
