This was one of the craziest Summers ever for us.
Crazy good.
With a baby taking 2 naps a day and 2 older girls with scheduled activities. We did not rest much.
Last Summer was lazy – nothing scheduled…just a baby that arrived in July. We enjoyed doing a lot of nothingness. We played with the neighbors, had unplanned picnics and enjoyed lazy days kissing baby toes.
This Summer, we went a bit crazy – with swimming lessons, vacations, tennis, camps, and visits.
It was good. Oh so good! I enjoyed having a schedule again. I am like a 4 year old in that respect and like to know what my day holds – what time my lunch will be served -what time is bedtime again.
It was awesome.
Swimming lessons were finally successful. My kids can SWIM. It is a miracle. And even UNDERWATER. TEAR free.
Eloise took Urban Tennis and it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!!! She LOVED it.
Theatre camp was fabulous – both girls enjoyed their classes and asked for more.
The only thumbs down/boo camp was zoo camp. We will not be back. Sorry.
And we still had time to relax. Trips to playgrounds, a trip to Indiana, visits with grandparents and a quick few days to Wisconsin Dells. The girls had lots of time to just play, make up games, read, rest.
As Summer is coming to a close and school starts next week(FINALLY), I enjoy thinking back to the amazing Summer we had. Another wondrous Summer of being little for my sweet girls.
What were your favorite activities this Summer? I would love to hear your greatest hits!
We did a lot of fun stuff this summer- the best was a trip to Niagra Falls with cousins and a whitewater rafting trip. Honestly my biggest hurdle this summer was trying to keep my nerves under wraps as my son gets ready for high school, lol. Starts in 3 days…

My summer consisted primarily of concerts and catching up with good friends. It was a complete blast and I’m sad to see it end!
What sweet photos and what a CUTE blog! It sounds like you had a lovely summer. I also like having a schedule so I can understand where you’re coming from. It’s great your children are learning to swim!

Hey there neighbour. Just popped in to say hi, started following and read up a bit on your adorable blog. And I’ll surely be back for more.
Our summer was nice and quiet. We chilled most of the time – a far cry from last year’s scurry when we were in China receiving our second daughter. That was cool but this summer was so much easier.
Have a great week!

Love the photos of the baby…cuddly cute!
Our highlight so far was an island trip…but schools here start on Sept 13 plus temps are still over 35 degrees C…so there’s still a bit to go…
Spending time with YOU! Love that baby, I could just eat her up.

Oooh, long days at the pool & beach for sure. And I loved Hot Springs, AR and our trip to San Antonio.
I love Astrid’s little pruny-wrinkled feet.
