Summer Round Up

I am finally getting a chance to get caught up blogging! School has started and the leaves are beginning to change colors, and I am just not ready to say farewell to summer yet! This summer was so sweet, and as school got ready to begin, I kept thinking to myself, "How can it be?!" I am/was not ready for BOTH my kids to be in school full time. Andrew and I miss those girls. We had our share of bickering and grumpiness, but overall, the kids grew stronger in their bonds with each other. 

Tea parties with our friends

I had the great privilege to do a mommy-and-me bible study with the girls this summer during Andrew's nap time. We enjoyed some treats and tea/lemonade/hot cocoa and had some fun digging into God's word and praying. It was precious seeing them taking ownership of their faith and truly seeking to know Jesus more.

Bible Study time

During rainy days they had picnics in the garage...

And on sunny days we played outside in the back yard!

Hooray for Rita's!

In June the girls went to Vacation Bible School...

We had tons of Pajama Dance Parties...

Just about every week we went to the library and checked out as many books that could fit into our bag... those days were the quietest days because these book worms were on the couch reading all afternoon.

We love library day

We ate our weight in ice cream this summer...

And right before we headed back to school we visited the farm. We picked apples and blackberries to put in the kids school lunches.

This was the friendliest goat ever

We love apples

Did I mention we ate ice cream?! LOL.

Thankfully, it's still warm around here, and we are grilling and wearing out tank tops and shorts as long as possible before it becomes sweater and boots weather! Farewell Summer, Happy Fall!
