It seriously feels to me like it was just Memorial Day...like I just had the conversation with my husband about being excited for summer sweet corn, Jersey tomatoes and barbecues with friends...and here we are, two weeks away from the start of school with not much to show for our summer. I PROMISED myself this year that I was going to have a fun summer, most of it spent on the weekends since vacation time is limited (well ok, how about gone until January)...but alas, like most things in life, the list was made but not much crossed off. Do I make a mid-years resolution to get to that list or just save it for January 1st? I don't know...
We did have an exciting middle of the summer with Marissa trying out for, and making the 10-11 tournament softball team. Although they didn't win a game at their tournament, they all had a lot of fun, learned A LOT about the game and were a total inspiration to me...they kept chugging along no matter the adversity they were facing...such a great accomplishment for these group of girls.
I did get some scrapping in although not as much as I would like. I do have to sit down and organize pictures and decide what project to work on first. I have an all day crop coming up at the end of the month and hopefully some new layouts to share with you. I have a mini-album in progress too which I hope to get finished. It's from our weekend trip to Hershey Park and one of the first smaller themed albums I've done. I'm very excited to see the finished product.
Meanwhile, I have a birthday coming up and hope to get to take a trip to my fav SB store to go on a little shopping spree for myself. There are so many new products out there from Little Yellow Bycicle and Basic Grey that I cannot wait to get my hands on them! For now, I'll settle for the trip to staples for school supplies....
It's been awhile since I've shared a page from my nephews book so take a look:
It's not the best picture, the edges are cut off and it was taken at night so there are shadows but it gives you a rough idea. This was one of the first times they were able to hold their son in the NICU....he was SO tiny...and now such a big boy!
And from our trip to Hershey:
Enjoy that last few weeks of summer everyone! Plan that bbq and grill some burgers, dogs and sweet corn because before you know it, we'll be planting mums and getting costumes together to trick or treat!
