It is so hard to believe that summer is almost over
(excuse me while I shed a tear)
What a fantastic summer we have had, though!
Garrett is a teacher, which means awesomely fun and productive months together as a family.
It is always so sad to see the end come close, but we have so many great things to look forward to, like Ethan starting Kindergarten {gasp!} and Ainsley starting pre-school.
Here are a few snippets of what our summer looked like this year:

(be prepared for what I call a Photo Bomb)
Lots of treats
And Jumping
And swimming
And giggles.
Enjoying the outdoors
And hugs
And big girl beds
And potty training
And smiles.
Playgrounds
And brother and sister love.
Bowling for the first time
And parades
With friends.
Lots of indoor imagination.
Can’t forget about Open Mic nights
for the adults and the kids
Make sure to check out their debut video 🙂

Our annual trips
full of laughter.
Gifts for teachers….
for Ethan’s last day of preschool {sob}
Fun in New York City
With friends
Hilarious weekends away with the husband
and complete exhaustion.
Don’t forget the animals in play towers
And owls with baby heads.
Because nothing says summer like a ceramic owl with a baby head on top.
Hope everyone else enjoyed their summer too!
