Summer Wrap-Up

Summer is winding down.  I never thought I would say this, but THANK GOODNESS!  This summer has been brutal, and I'm soooo looking forward to fall.  Here's what we've been up to during the last few weeks of summer............

Fun being a birthday girl:

Fun at the Botanical Center:

Fun at the park:

 

Fun with face painting:

 

Fun at the John Deere Pavilion:

Fun with your favorite sibling:

(I walked in on this one morning and my heart melted..... Addy loves to read to Wes, and now that he can sit up on his own, he can pay more attention to the pictures in the book).

Next week starts a whole new schedule for us with Adalynn beginning Preschool and Awanas, and the following week with me starting MOPS.  Just when I finally adjusted to being a stay-at-home mom and have our current schedule down pat, it's all about to change.  Hopefully it doesn't take me as long to get used to the new routine as it did to get used to our current one!

After a recent trip to the portrait studio for Adalynn's four year and Wesley's six month photo shoot, I have a Mom Tip to share................ don't bother to take two very cute and photogenic children to have their pictures professionally taken unless you are prepared to (1) break the budget and (2) end up with more photos than you could need in your entire lifetime.
