Summer Lovin' - Had me a blast....

Well, the weather can't make up it's mind, but we all must admit the summer is officially over. We had a wonderful summer around here, and very busy! Hailey started at a new school/daycare in August and we LOVE it thus far; Norah should start in the spring if all goes well. Norah has learned SO much, I think she learns a new word every day! She also is a great little helper at whatever I need her to do be it loading the dishwasher, cleaning up, making messes, ect. Hailey is such a great big sister and I love hearing her be such a little mother to Norah, they play very well together for the most part and Norah just LOVES it!






We took a delightful vacation to good 'ole western Pennsylvania for my Grandmother's 80th birthday party in August. I had a lot of fun showing my girls all the things I did a gramma's house when I was little including swimming at the 'beach' (Lake Erie Peninsula), the Erie Zoo and my all-time favorite, 'The Camp' (my grandfather's 50yr old hunting camp where I spent so much time as a child). All of my side of the family was present (except 200month pregnant Gina, who we missed) and we had a wonderful time, and I think my Grandmother was surprised and delighted by the whole thing!

We also recently took a day-trip to Boone/Banner Elk NC to attend the Land of Oz festival on Beech Mtn. We had lovely mountain weather and enjoyed time visiting our old home...makes me miss Boone!! (not THAT much though ;) )

We've had a great summer overall and I'm excited for some fall weather! I'm not much of a writer so here are some pics that document our fun and my beautiful children :)
