It has been quite a whirlwind kind of summer, but I think they all are. I love having the girls home and having time together. It seems like it goes by way to fast! The first part of our summer was spent taking kids to softball/tball games and practices almost every night of the week. We fit in VBS and Confirmation camp, a wonderful visit with Stephanie and then some home and swimming time. Our vacation was wonderful and again too short and now we are right into preparing for school again. Of course it's not like you just wake up and go to school anymore when summer is over. It takes a week to shop for everything on the school supply list, especially when you have 4 girls! After you get all the supplies you have to label everything, I mean everything. Then you have sports that start practicing more than a week before school even starts.
We have had a lot of fun this summer, Abigail and Elianna have really done great with swimming. Kalyn has had a great summer with sports teams, camps and now practice. Volleyball practice has started and she is very excited to be a captain and also a starting setter. Melissa went to LOMC for a theater arts week and put on a play of Snow White and the Six Dwarfs for us at the end of the week. We laughed so hard and unfortunately I forgot my video camera. Elianna still has the songs in her head with her own modifications. "I hope, I hope, it's home from work we go." You know the song, right?
I have taken a couple of knitting classes with my mom, we are making a shawl that I probably never would have attempted without this class and we are having fun! My parents still come out every Friday night to help us out with groceries. That is deffinately one task that is very hard for me to do. The girls (all 4 of them) look forward to Friday night visits with Grandma and Grandpa. I also took a class with Sandy on making a new bag. It also was great fun. I will post pictures when I can.
Jonathan has only golfed a handful of times, if even. He has enjoyed watching softball games (standing), I guess he needs to pace instead of sit down. He has found a couple of good books to keep him out of trouble. And of course we send him to work to get him out of the house.
Mocha took a nice vacation to Chateau Norene, a quaint little place in Rochelle. She gets wonderful treats there and just loves her visit.
So as summer comes to a close, think about all the blessings, hold them dear and look forward to next year!
