Summer gone by...

Well, considering that I'm now an avid Facebooker, I'm not updating this blog like I should be. FB is good for those day to day things, but it's just not a place to keep the memories like the BK8 blog is. And so, this I will try to update more regularly.

So, this summer. Now that it's officially over, I am happy to report we survived it. We spent the longest time yet away from home in NC. We left a week after school was out and came back 2 weeks before it started back. We enjoyed the mountains, the girls and I mostly. Bob Bob and Grammy finally moved into their house about a week before we came home, so now we have a beautiful place to stay at a moment's notice! We spent a lot of time at parks and playgrounds. We did go to Tweetsie a couple of times, but since I was the solo adult most of the time, with 3 little ones that still need naps, we stuck close to home. The older girls spent a week at the local college at a performing arts camp...you can imagine that! They also spent a week at Camp Ginger Cascades doing their annual girl scout camp stint...they loved it! My niece Bailey spent about 3 weeks with us, which was fun. We hadn't seen her since she moved to Montana last June. Bailey and Katie spent a week in NYC with my aunt and uncle and had a ball...taking in a showing of West Side Story on Broadway and a journey to the American Girl store!

We watched Sarah grow quite a bit this summer. She blossomed into a pretty sweet little thing, although she HATES the car. Which is a bummer, considering how much time we tend to spend there.

All in all, it was a great summer and I can't wait for the next one...except that it means making my girls all another year older...:-(

And so, we start another school year! Stay tuned!
