I have been a HORRIBLE blogger these last past... WELL, A LONG TIME.
Here are a few highlights from our summer....
1. This summer we have LIVED at the swimming pool.
All of the 3 big kids are doing swim team. Tonight we actually have our last swim meet. I can't believe it's already ending. They have LOVED doing swim team and I have loved spending time w friends at the pool. We have several families from our church that go to our pool. It's been fun having lunch out there just about every day and sometimes even taking our dinner out there.
This is Addie and Audrey (above).
Aidan has been a GREAT swimmer this year. I can't believe how daring he is. He loves doing flips off the diving board and he is really doing well in swim team. He has brought home lots of ribbons. Avery and Addie have too. I would say though that he is our fastest swimmer.
I love Abel's hair at the pool. So fun and curly.
Sad to say... he looks like this (below) very often. He is definitely going through the "twos". WOW. He's so cute and he knows it :-)
2. CHARLOTTE IS MARRIED!!!
On May 30th - we were ALL in Charlotte and Critter's wedding. I was the Matron of Honor, Avery and Addie were flower girls, Aidan and Abel were ring bearers... and Ted married them. It was a wonderful day! BEAUTIFUL WEDDING!!!!
3. We had an AMAZING vacation with friends (The Horne Family) at North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It was an incredible 7 days of total relaxation (unless a kid was throwing a fit :-). We enjoyed beach time every day, great food... either that Angela made (pre-made) or at a restaurant in the area. We all went to see Toy Story. I did photoshoots for the Horne's and their extended family (they gave us a condo for a week in exchange for the photos). We watched movies. LAUGHED A LOT and just had a great time!!!
4. We also went on a mission trip to Kentucky (see post below for the slideshow of our trip).
5. I've done pictures at 1 big wedding and two small weddings this summer. Also, I have been a second shooter with a friend who has a photography business. I also have three more weddings coming up - BUSY TIMES!!!
School starts on Aug 17th. The kids will be going to "part time" school. (that's what I call it). They will go to school 3 days a week and homeschool 2 days a week. Avery will be in 4th, Aidan will be in 2nd grade and Addie will repeat Kindergarten.
SCHOOL YEAR - HERE WE COME!

Love the curls! My family teases me because when I have Dawit's hair "cut" it's really just a itty bitty trim because I love the curls. Hope we can hook our boys up at the next ETN gathering. They could be terrible two together. And D's not even 2 yet!
