{Wrapping up Summer}


hi
how are ya?
we are enjoying our very. last. day. of summer.
yep, school starts tomorrow.
boo:(

dave had to go out of town unexpectedly today, so we are on our own for this one.
we are checking and rechecking school supplies, packing backpacks and getting outfits ready.
staying put and hanging out...except for a quick trip out for clarinet lessons, cross country practice and a soccer game (whew!)
tomorrow the excitement begins and I think we are ready.

I've been kind of an absent blogger this summer and that's usually the way it works for me, so I've come to expect it. I may wake up with the best intentions of getting a post out, but life happens and the lovelies pull me away and before I know it, the day is done.
but it's all good.
really all good and i'm ok with that.

we did manage to squeeze in a wee bit of fun this last week or so.
so sit back and enjoy a ton of pics and random thoughts and we'll see ya tomorrow with our backpacks on.

 
janey has been wanting me to read to her at night lately.
sweet little thing would love love love to be four again.

the girls buttery waffles looked so good to me the other day, I just had to have one.

  3. ahhhh... sweet summer post. Don't ya just wish that the weather would feel all fall like tomorrow morning for the first day of school? It would just be the icing on the cake. Have a wonderful last (boo hoo) day of summer. And enjoy your busy morning tomorrow. Yikes, it gives me butterflies. Mine will be back in school next Wednesday at this time, yuck! PS that pool rocks and I must say Riley is super brave on that slid that seems way up high for the drop off part. Cool!

  4. Lovely pictures! For me, classes (and teaching!) are starting tomorrow, so I can (sort of) relate. Summer is over...but the prospect of a new year with new classes, new students, and new research is very exciting.

    Speaking of new things...I love Janey's haircut. And personally, I think no one is ever too old to be read to ;).

    PS. That last picture is amazing! Such joy!
