This summer wasn't a particularly busy one. It just seemed that way. There were no grand vacations or major events planned that seemed to fill our time....just life. Some of the things that kept me from blogging include but are not limited to:
Zoo trips, dance recitals, VBS x 2, pool dates, summer camp, Cardinals baseball games, A trip to Oklahoma to see Uncle Josh(my little brother), meeting my new niece Marley, a slumber party at the National Great Rivers Museum and lots of indoor crafting because it was just toooooo hot to go outside!
I am not sure why I did not blog all summer. I suppose it was because I got behind and then I waited to long and got overwhelmed with where to start. I shouldn't be so hard on myself because life is busy and anything I add to this blog will bless my kiddos in the future(hopefully) so I need to stop putting pressure on myself to be perfect at this. I mean come on, how many people do you know have blogs about their childhoods?! Some of us are just lucky to have pictures!
School started for Miss Faith on Wednesday and we are now the proud parents of a 3rd grader. She has Mrs. Miller this year, and so far she loves her. I am so proud of my girly. She loves school. We are so lucky to have had such a wonderful public school experience. Since she is in the accelerated program, she will stay with the same kids all the way through 5th grade and I love that she gets to be with her friends year after year. I hope our other two are just as fortunate. I guess only time will tell.
Today, I am just going to start with pictures of my girl on her first day. Just so you know, she wanted to dress up. That girl is becoming more into fashion these days.
Ahhh yes! I forgot to mention that my awesome daughter jumped in to the shallow end of a public pool and fractured 3 of her metatarsal bones! She has been wearing that boot since the end of July. Maybe we should reevaluate the whole gifted thing! Just kidding. Sorta.
So, if there is anyone still out there, please be patient with me as I update the blog for posterity. I will also finally be posting the rest of our pics from our family photo session very soon. Pinky swear.
Tomorrow I will be starting a new thing where I dump all of my cell phone photos from the week. I have seen others call it the Friday phone dump. Should be interesting!
Cheers!
