Once again, high time I contribute something to my pathetic blog. If anyone still checks up on me this way...yes, I am alive and my little family and I are doing good. We had a fabulous summer! A short recap: one awesome week at the beach in Destin, Florida, enjoying the white sand beaches, beautiful weather and the great company of good friends; two weeks in Utah packed with fun activities and spending quality time with our two great families and friends; some fun family activities here in Georgia--including a Braves game and Six Flags. It wasn't all play though. My girls still had swimming lessons and yes, I did TRY to get them to do some workbook pages in the their respective summer books I had purchased for them. I had high hopes that we would do better this summer at getting them to study a little bit and having a nice routine. The routine...never really materialized as I had hoped. Better luck, hopefully, next year. Here are few photos of our summer.
