Summer's End..

Full hands have kept me away from the blog world these days. I miss having time to blog and to read other blogs. Being home alone with the kids most of the time while my husband travels far from home for work..some times for several weeks on end has left my mind spinning with doing no more than keeping it together as much as I can just getting through the day. Not to mention that my baby at 6 months old(almost) decided she will not nap anymore ...ack!
I still wanted to let our far away family and friends know what we have been up to this summer so bear with me for one massive summer recap, in photos of course:

We picked berries with friends and made yummy treats out of them......

We ran free in the woods and at the beach....

My mom came to visit and met Nalah for the first time.....

and we took her to a few pretty places...

and got some treats too..

We learned and did things for the very first time....

We visited the zoo...

Made a few crafts...ok, just one ;)

We got tiny mustache tattoos..

Took a long put off trip to the beach...

 And enjoyed the Portland Parkways event from our front door..

along the path...

and at the park...

I was feeling like we didn't do much this summer until I completed this post..funny how you have to remove yourself sometimes to see all you have. Feeling blessed! School starts tomorrow for my eldest. First day of Middle School!! and first day of school ever coming up for Solomon too( sniffle sniffle,wipes away tear).

What a full busy(if not totally hectic) summer we had this year. Looking forward to the routine and small quiet moments around the house that come along with the school year.
