September Catch Up

Hello, hello, little blog!  I'm so sorry for neglecting you.  Our last month has been so jam-packed, its hard to know where to start.  How about at the beginning?  

We took a trip to visit Andy and Alicia.  It was a wonderful trip.   So wonder full, in fact, it was more like three trips in one.  The first part was our drive to New Jersey, to Andy and Alicia's house.  On our twelve hour drive I learned where the Poconos are, that Pennsylvania is beautiful in August and Ohio has the BEST rest stops.

Then we got to spend three with Andy and Alicia.  It had been a year since we have seen them and was special to get to be with them before their wedding next year.  The kids loved the time with them!

We spent two days in New York City!  We spent a lovely afternoon in Central Park and didn't even see half of it!  We toured Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and spent some time at the 9/11 memorial.  Then we heading home, just in time for Audrey to start her first day of preschool!

More of the catch up to come....

Time And Tide

Here we are in August.

I have heard people say recently that the summer is going too fast, but I can honestly say ours has not.  Besides our two trips (and one still to come), our days have moved slowly.  We've circled from park to beach to park to library, home again and out again, as our day and desire takes us.

But time is moving on. Colton will turn three years old.  Audrey will be starting preschool in a few weeks.  I am excited for the experiences the fall will bring, but I'm also sad to leave our schedule free days behind.

As for today, we are heading to the beach, again, to soak up the freedom of these days.
