We've been busy enjoying the last little bit of summer over here lately.  Last weekend, Jason's sister and her family came to visit and I feel like we haven't stopped to catch our breath since then. 

We've been to the Zoo, Six Flags, the pool, on a hike, back to the Zoo, back to the pool, spent waaay too much time at the local frozen yogurt place, and to the Muny.  Katherine also finished her summer reading at the library and got a super sweet yard sign to put in front of the house. 

I've literally waited 10 years for Aida to come back to the Muny.  It was so worth it.  I was introduced to Aida by my college friend and roommate.  I would highly recommend this show.  It's amazing. 




I read Hope Unfolding this summer and absolutely loved it.  It's a great book for all of the Mamas out there.  I've already preordered Becky Thompson's next book Love Unending, which comes out in January. 

Can I just say, I love the Olympics!  I've always loved watching them, but this year I've been almost obsessed.  I feel like I know the athletes personally, and I'm fixated on their every event, and feel so happy for them when they win.  I remember watching the 2012 Summer Olympics, in my first trimester with Katherine.  I was sooooo sick all the time, and I remember watching the gymnasts bouncing around and wishing I felt as good as they did.  I also thought it was crazy that when the next Summer Games came around, I'd have a three-year-old.  And yet, here we are.

Here's one of favorite moments so far from the Summer Olympics:

I'm always sad to see Summer go, but I'm also excited for Fall and all that cooler weather brings!
