Summer's Coming To An End!

It's Labor Day weekend and that means, my husband goes back to school, my son goes back to school, and we get back to a routine. I love Fall! I love the crisp clean air, the cool nights, the fun fall things that we do, but I love having my husband home during the summer!

This summer we have had a pretty quiet, but fun summer. Overall, the weather was really nice. We had some days that were uncomfortable hot, but for the most part, the days were enjoyable!

Enjoy some pictures from our summer fun!

We didn't do crazy things this summer, but we had a blast. I loved being able to share time with our children and not feeling like what we did had to be some crazy commercialized summer. I love being able to look back at our pictures and remembering the fun times that we had. We may not have a ton of money to do crazy expense things, but we are able to spend good quality time and create loving lasting memories for our children. I am so thankful that my husband is able to spend time with us. I love being able to spend time creating things for my children and creating memories for our family! As happy as I am to be getting back to a routine, I will miss our summer fun and lazy family days. Here'd to next summer!

Summer Pictures!!!!!!

It's Labor Day, the unofficial end to summer. Although I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my family this summer, I am ready to have fall here. I am not a hot weather person and am really looking forward to fall. I am also looking forward to having a schedule again. We have really been kind of flying by the seat of our pants with our schedule. The only real schedule we had was Michael going to school the month of July, but after that, we just did what ever we felt like. As wonderful as it was to not really have to do anything at any specific time, I am really looking forward to being on a routine. We really did much more, but these are just a few of our pictures from the summer.

Tomorrow, the twins start a drop off group at EI and then we have orientation for Michael in the afternoon. Wednesday, Michael starts pre-school every day for 5 hours. It sounds like a lot, but he handles it so well and I really think he has benefitted from this extra school time! I am trying to set up play dates for the twins. I am thinking that it will help them socialize and maybe even learn to talk more!
