School is back and summer is coming to a close. It was a great summer one I thoroughly enjoyed with my kiddos and not to mention it's been such a cool summer here in Indy...I don't really loooove hot weather so high 70's and low 80's are totally my jam! However, I finally understand why my parents were ok with school starting again :) Lydia needs structure and she needs to socialize with her people...she is a social creature, a little bit of a shy one at first but she thrives in school. I am happy to see what this year brings for her.
Here is our summer list and what we actually accomplished from it:
Vacation
Zoo Visits
Make our hill into a slip and slide
Camp - backyard and the real deal - just didn't get to take Lydia for real camping ... "yet"
Hang lights on our deck or in our screened porch
Summer reading program
Pool Days...lots of them
Swim Lessons for Lydia - she did awesome!!
Try gardening (already planted) - SUCCESS...minus our green tomatoes it's been too cold, so I hear, they are all green still, but I made green bean casserole last weekend from my very own garden!
Submit our dossier - this has taken us so much longer than we anticipating we are going into month 8 of this process but praying this fall we finally get everything submitted. It's really hard to rely on others to move things ahead.
We've taken naps, gone swimming, gone to the zoo, gone on vacation, visited with friends who live in Ann Arbor which meant a night away from home for all 4 of us with friends who let us wreck their house and wake them up early, had our church festival, had Garrett's 2nd bday party, went to the fair. I read a ton of books, had dinners with my sister at fun foodie restaurants that my husband would never try. I love summer but I am almost ready to welcome fall with open arms!
