Summer





Weddings. Trips (12 hour drive home from Utah = some of the best family time we've ever had. I'm dead serious. We had so much fun singing, playing the guessing game, looking for animals, eating road-trip-only snacks (ie cheetos and sour punch straws) chatting with Nate while the children slept from Winnemucca to Lakeview). Friends. Family. Organizing. Camping. Swimming. Guests. Yard work. Not blogging. Love. Family reunion. Play. Toy Story 3 (Henry's first ever movie at a theater=LOVE. We even splurged for popcorn). Work. Learning. House-painting. Cleaning. Zucchini muffin baking (we have zucchini enough for a small nation). Living.

It's been a busy, full, happy, busy summer. Last one of its kind. Can't believe we'll be doing school nights in a few weeks. (sigh). will life ever slow down a bit so I can write about some of the things that have been on my mind? I need to make time.



Oh...and somebody who loves her daddy very much turned two.

  3. Emily! I'm so glad to hear you are having such a great summer. We sure miss you down here (you are missing out on 103 degree weather - don't you miss it??). I thought of Lily on her birthday - I hope she had a great one! Love you.

  5. What a full, wonderful summer!! I'm so glad! Hope these last few weeks culminate it all properly! BEST OF LUCK with back-to-school! (I never thought sending my first child kindergarten would feel like such a huge milestone! But man! It does! It's such a looming event! I truly hope Henry has a fabulous experience. Wish that he and Lucy could be classmates! Can't you just see us snapping photos on the first day of school? =)

    Love!

  7. It's good to hear that you've had such a wonderful summer. Happy birthday to Lily, and good luck with the first day of school. I can't believe it's Henry's turn to grow up. The thought of sending Malia off to school still scares me to death. I hope it all goes well.
