Summer hiatus

    I unintentionally took a bit of a summer hiatus. We just got so busy with traveling, out-of-town guests and typical summer fun that blogging took a back seat. Even though its still summer, I feel the energy shifting to the structure of back to school (Huntsville went back this week), the readiness for cooler temperatures and all amazing things Autumn, good bye to staying up late, grilling out and long afternoons at the pool with friends, so with that IM BACK :)

   I managed to capture random pictures from our adventures over the last couple of months......

BEACH! We had the most perfect weather, Charlotte loved it and was so well behaved. In true Charlie fashion I set her down on the sand turned to get our our blankets and by the time I had turned back around she was running, arms wide open, giggling right into the waves - cue heart attack and visions of her being swept away by the undercurrent. We had so much fun and  I cant wait to go back next summer :)

LAKE HOUSE - (almost) All the family came down and spent some time in Huntsville and for a long weekend we rented a lake house. The weather gods were not on our side like at the beach but thankfully we rented the best house ever, so cute and clean, a beautiful covered back porch with a bar, plenty of space and it even came with a very friendly neighbor dog! So we made the best of it :)

   LOCAL FUN - we have also been busy doing things around town like library story time on rainy days, cat-sitting, playing dress up, walks, farmers markets, cook outs with dear friends, play dates and lots and lots of playground time!

So thats our summer in a nutshell - oh and Mama got to go to a Bachelorette party out of town for 4 days, leaving my girl was super hard but she had a blast with the best DaDa in the world and all of our sweet friends stepping in to help take care of her :) She starts nursery school on Wednesdays this week, gymnastics and music start again soon and before you know it it the summer will be gone and we will be into Fall and Winter. Which I am super excited about because there are a million fun Fall things I cant wait to do with the girl, I will be an Aunt in October!, C will sort of get the holidays this year and I get to be an honorary Aunt again in January - good stuff :)
