Goodness gracious, what a short summer! While our summer wasn’t super busy, we did do a lot and we made some pretty awesome memories to show for it.
Our summer got off to a late start, due to all the snow days and having to add teacher workdays to the end of our school year.
We went on vacation to the mountains…twice.
We visited my grandmother and rode the train at the park.
We enjoyed my aunt and uncle’s fire pit and roasted some marshmallows.
Both girls enrolled in a six week gymnastics class…Emorie began her fourth year of gymnastics, and Aubrey began her first.
Both girls went to Vacation Bible School at our church and loved it!!
Emorie celebrated her seventh birthday and went to cheer camp at our local high school.
We spent tons of time at the playground.
And even more time in the pool.
We spent time at the local YMCA splash pad, too
Emorie began to learn to play the piano, prompting us to add a piano to our home.
Our garden flourished for most of the summer, and we enjoyed many delicious veggies from it.
We traveled to WV for the day to celebrate my grandpa’s cousin’s 90th birthday AND 70th wedding anniversary.
Aubrey engaged in a lot of mischief…
We remodeled one of our bathrooms.
And lastly, we sent this newly minted second grader off to school, and I took some of my favorite pictures EVER of my girls.
I will be returning to school next week. Stay tuned: changes are on the horizon for Organized and Simplified.
Have a wonderful,blessed school year.
