Summer Recap

Well, since the ENTIRE summer went by with nary a post, I'm doin a little catch up...

M A Y
Thomas turned FOUR. Learned to ride his bike never using training wheels. Got a full size youth hockey goal. Had a party at a nearby park/creek. Lovin life.











J U N E
Patrick accepted a job offer from a new firm. Great people, interesting cases. 10 minute commute. All around great. Worked 30 days straight. Including on his birthday and Father's Day. On his way home from work on a SATURDAY, he was hit by an elderly lady who ran a red light - SUV totalled. VERY thankful no one was hurt.



But Henry said I could borrow his car...



J U L Y
Better work hours, no car accidents, a fun Fourth of July parade in our neighborhood (some rad float making too), and celebration of our 9Th wedding anniversary. Words cannot possibly express how grateful I am for my husband. LOVE pretty much sums it up.









A U G U S T
What?
Hank turned TWO. I literally remembered the afternoon before. Promptly spent an hour and a half in our favorite toy store with the kiddos and my mom. Good times. LuLu brought over vanilla steamers and pastries for breakfast. Don't judge, it's just milk laced with vanilla syrup (that he consumes in less than 30 seconds) - what's not to like about that? Pizza for dinner and cupcakes for dessert. Wonderful day spent at home. It's amazing how "partyish" life can be with three kids.









Thomas gave himself a bang trim...





Soph was a flower girl in a dear friend's wedding. Best time in all her six years staying up late dancing until 11pm. Wants to become a professional flower girl actually. Amazing wedding complete with lots of good Irish folk, great friends, food, and drink. It took us all at least a week to recover from the festivities.











Patrick's boss, Irnie, invited us down to his farm in Castle Rock. The kiddos gathered fresh eggs from the barn, rode a horse, and took a tour of the farm in the scoop of a John Deere front end loader. Really fun day!





Sophie started in a homeschool enrichment program 1.5 days a week through a local charter school. Her favorite teacher is Mrs. Bacon. It was meant to be. She loves it, I love it, everyone is happy.



School in our home started right after our annual Labor Day trip to Pecos, NM. Which will be a whole nother post. It was awesome...

How fun! I love the wonderful summer months with kids!

Sophie was such a sweet flower girl. Hope got be a flower girl last Sept in our cousins wedding and was totally enamored with the bride. It was one of her best memories ever. And...if Sophie is wearing a dress over jeans in that last picture then her and Hope are truly kindred spirits...but then again, we kinda programmed them to be, didn't we? :)

Thank you for the recap! I love seeing a glimpse of your life. The kids are huge and adorable and doing so many fun things.

You are an awesome mom and I love your family! XOXOXOXOXOX

I'm trying to pick my favorite picture, but it so hard. Love the last one of Sophie (I can totally see her at 14), Thomas' bangs are hilarious and Henry's expression after he chugged the steamer is priceless. Oh, and the one of Sohpie showing her dirty feet at the wedding is perfect. Okay, one more favorite -- Henry running toward Patrick. Sigh... you guys are awesome. XOXOXOXOX
