Where, oh where did the summer go? If you based that question on the weather you might ask did it ever arrive, but I'm wondering, of course, where the time ran off to.
I vowed to enjoy every moment of the summer, and I did more or less (more on the fun, less on the sleep deficiency) but somehow the whole summer just slipped by anyway.
We did so many fun things, it's a shame I wasn't able to update the blog periodically with our adventures, but since I was so busy having fun (in a sleep-deprived, bleary-eyed sort of way), I never got around to it.
Luckily, Sophia has agreed to do a recap. This then, is "Our Summer, 2010:"
This summer was really great!
We started with going to Lopez Island,and that was fun,but the only sad part was when we left.
And another fun thing was the downtown Jamison Square !
In August we picked blackberries and we got ice cream , snow cones ,and new special drawers!
In July we picked blueberries and
In June I started summer break.
Well, that about sums it up!
We had a great time, as always, in the San Juans, and like Sophia wrote, it was hard to leave. The only
other bummer about the trip was that Sophia was sick most of the time. I think she had a sinus infection. In any case as soon as we got home her fever disappeared and she was back to her joyful, energetic self. Oh well.
We also went to the beach with friends (Maya, Herb, Chloe, and Justin) where we played in the sand, kicked back, and even visited Neskowin Valley School for Gnome camp (I know!).
We got a kitten in June, little Posy, who isn't as little anymore, but still cute.
We found a new trail on Mt. Tabor (I never would have guessed there were any we didn't know about!) which is our new favorite.
We spent a lot of time playing with "library" friends, had several visits from grandparents, and spent most of August at the pool (despite the cool temperatures a lot of the month).
And then of course the big focus for us this summer has been baby Norah. Mmmm she's sweet. I knew I wanted another baby, but for some reason I've been taken off guard—yet again (you'd think I'd expect it by the time I'd gotten to the third baby)—by how much I adore this child.
But of course I'm not the only one. There's some serious love happening in our house these days. Can I just tell you how happy we are? I mean seriously. Concerns about the future aside, it's just pure bliss around here.
You might think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
The only thing that could make life even sweeter would be finding "our place." We're anxious to know where we're going to finally settle—and to do just that. Be in the house we'll stay in. Plant our apple, cherry, and hazelnut trees. Put down roots.
Maybe I'll have an update in the next post. Anything is possible, right?
