Summer recap

Here are some pics to remind myself that even though we didn't do EVERYTHING on my summer of fun list (no zoo), we did do many things!  We had a great time...as much as my kids exhaust me, test my patience, need me, and even drive me nuts sometimes, I love being with them and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I also got a little into running again.  I got some sweet new kicks and put in some miles with Alissa in the mornings.  I took the kids to the library quite a few times and read two fairly long novels.  We watched all three seasons of Downton Abbey in June.  Jude did a week of bible school.  It was fun while it lasted.

See you again in May summer!
