Summer

I cannot believe that summer is coming to an end. (Of course, I can only hope that the triple-digit heat will follow likewise!!) I have had such good intentions all summer long to post pictures and stories of so many of our fun times, but it has not happened that way. Because my two oldest boys start K.I.N.D.E.R.G.A.R.T.E.N. in two days, I need to get on the ball! So, here is our summer in pictures...and a few words from me, of course! I mean, if you know me, have you ever been around when I don't have much to say? Some of you only wish.... *Warning: There are A LOT of pictures in this post, so if you are short on time, you may want to come back later!

I will start off with a picture of precious Sidney! We keep this baby girl 4 days a week and she is such a cutie!! It is so fun to get to have a girl around the house - I sure want my boys learning how to treat a young lady! She loves the boys, gets so tickled by them, and they are crazy about her too! She started coming to play with us when she was 3 months old, and now look at this girl...almost 9 months! Where has the time gone? We love our Sidney girl!!
