We had a surprisingly busy summer, despite my best efforts to make it "not busy," but I guess when  you're trying to pack in as much fun as possible before a new baby arrives, it tends to get busy.

It was a little sad that this was Katherine's last summer as an only child, but she's soooo excited about being a big sister soon that the sadness fades into excitement for her.  She's ready to spend the rest of her summers with her little sister.  It's the sweetest thing. 

We celebrated the beginning of summer at the library, played t-ball for the first time, had our first dance recital, ate homegrown strawberries, survived swim lessons (barely), played outside, had lots of sno cones, went to a Cardinals game, played outside some more, went to the Muny, survived another 4th of July in the "country," went to the pool too many times to count, went to splash day at church, and watched way too much TV. 

Overall, an action packed summer.  I know summer isn't officially over just yet, but for us our greatest summer adventure is right around the corner....leading straight into the first school year for Katherine.  So in a way, summer is coming to an end for us.   

Bring on fall and the "busy" time of year.  #alreadyexhausted

**Also the Etsy shop will be closed while we welcome our baby girl.  I'll have the shop back open as soon as I'm back up and running again!**
