Oh summer!  So much time BBQing, digging in sand, camping, traveling, celebrating weddings, playing with friends and just playing in general.  Summer = More Fun + the usual work/school/housework and laundry along with it = little time for blogging.  Oh well, no one reads this blog for the articles any way 🙂  Here are a bunch of pictures.

We took two camping trip this summer.  The first was with our former nannyshare partners and current neighbors and best buds.  There was lots of exploring the camp site, riding bikes, making and eating s’mores, laughing with friends and wading adventures in the river.  G caught a fish with his bare hands, Sam learned to ride his scooter and Clare swung off a rope into the river.  Big times were had by all.

  

July kicked off with a bang when our beloved friend “Auntie Carrie” got married.  Clare was a flower girl in the wedding, and a more excited flower girl you’ve never seen.  I keep thinking that I’ll get some wedding pictures and write a big post about it, but for now, here are a few of my fave iPhone pics.

In classic Carrie fashion, the wedding had a fake tattoo “parlor.”  Sam loves a fake tattoo, and made the most of it.  He was so proud of his “ink” and kept pulling open his shirt to show it off.  I told Carrie that between the fake tattoos, the general kid-friendliness of it all, and Clare’s role as flower girl, the kids will find all future weddings to be really boring.

The rest of July found us on vacation (post coming later… maybe) and August found us resting.  By resting, I mean playing at school, going to work, BBQing, playing in the backyard,

And growing… we seem to be doing lots of growing.
