The end of summer is upon us and I feel as though I missed it. It was my first summer as a full time working mom. I did spend everyday with my kids, so atleast I didn't miss anything they did. I just feel that it was a Blur.

We did make lots of great memories. Who could forget that first camping trip? How about coming home with 3 more turtles? Whew. We survived our first pet death as well. Alie Grace's turtle Bo went to turtle Heaven last week. That was rough!

This is Bo! 2nd one in from the right. The rest of the crew is living in a large rubber maid habitat on our front porch.

We enjoyed fire works with family and friends. Stella did not!
