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!
