Goodbye Summer

The summer officially ended for us last week. It was such a great summer and it was a bit hard for me to have it end. For the most part we were able to have a relaxed scheduled during the summer months and pretty much took each day and week as it came. For those that know me well, know that this is hard for me to do (I'm a scheduled, organized, neat-freak type of person so it was unusual for me to let these things go). But I greatly enjoyed myself and learned to be more relaxed about things. Ryan and I had a lot of fun with random playdates and activities that we normally don't have time for during the school year. We were blessed to take several different trips and a big vacation to Colorado. I could go on and on...I guess I really just enjoyed our summer!

While I'm reflecting on the summer I'll share some pictures of the fun we had:

Now we are on to our school year activities which I love. Last week started a new session of Body & Soul Fitness which I teach three days a week. I love the excitement of a new session! We started Ryan in Awana's on Wednesday nights so that will be a fun activity for him to be a part of (he is going to LOVE the pine wood derby!). Our calendar is filling up with weekend fun and that is always exciting. It's just a great time of the year! Even though I am back to a scheduled routine and daily list making to get things done, I have a feeling it is going to be a great fall for us!
