Here is an attempt to recap the goings on of this summer.
We are all doing really great...Chad is finishing up summer semester, which I guess you would have to ask him, but it seems like its been a little easier on him. He has got one year under his belt, and one and a half to go!
It has been really fun having Ella home for the summer. Owen has especially enjoyed it, whenever she is not around he definitely notices and has to have her home right then and there! Ella has matured quite a bit. She has become much more reasonable(if that makes any sense, maybe you have to really know Ella to know what I mean) Last week she proudly announced "Mom, I am a big girl and can take a shower all by myself, get dressed by myself, and blowdry my hair all by myself!" And she definitely does, she does her own hair and everything....most of her cute clothes go unworn....she is all about comfort! My favorite thing she does right now is that she likes to say all of our prayers, and her favorite thing to say in our night time prayer is "Please bless Ella that she will have good dreams, good thoughts, not nightmares, good dreams"
Chad and I chuckle everytime she says it, because it is exactly the same every night...so cute!
Owen....where to start with Owen. This kid is so dang cute, funny, and sometimes really naughty, which he gets away with because he is so stinkin' cute. He definitely loves his sister...mimics everything she does...has to say what she says, walk exactly where she has walked....eat what shes eating...and so on! I don't know what he'll do when she goes back to school! Anyone who knows Owen absolutely loves him. He is growing up so fast, and I keep having to remind myself that he is not a baby anymore.
As for me....I have been a busy Mama! Summer is hard work for a Mom. We have been going swimming, playing with friends, going to the zoo, and whatever else I could come up with to keep them busy. Needless to say, I don't think its possible to keep your home clean during the summer! I have also been keeping busy by teaching my classes at the gym and I just started my own bootcamp on Saturday mornings, both of which I really enjoy doing!
We've gotten to do a few really fun things. I took Chad to Aerosmith for Father's Day, Chad went to Hilton Head for a PA conference, and I got to go to girls camp.
Here are some pictures of our summer!
