The second half of summer.

I had a lot of plans this summer and started off with some really good intentions. But then some changes happened in our lives and we weren't quite able to do all of the things we wanted to do. We spent the really hot days inside, mainly because mommy wasn't feeling up to being outside.

We played games and built with Legos.

We read some books and and played with our toys.

 On the weekends we went to some festivals.

 We went to the Blues Festival, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Visitation. We had fun and at Visi fest Grandma even helped you win some money! Of course we brought home a ton of little plastic toys.

 Mommy finally made those pirate boots you had been asking for. It only took an entire Sunday afternoon/evening but it was worth it.

Now the weather has been cooler and Jack and Nicholas are playing outside with Daddy. What lucky boys they are to have such an awesome Daddy. I feel pretty lucky to be in this place we are in somewhere between here and there. Absolutely content but on the edge of my seat waiting for the next thing.

So go tell John, we are ready to take on whatever is God's will.
