"Life Lately" Flashback to Summer Edition!

I'm a little behind in documenting some of our summer fun...

 Kiera thought she was super cool riding the scooter and bike 

on the street at Gia's birthday party. As you can see, they live on a 

quiet, one way street. 

Just about everyday when Dave comes home from

work, he's excitedly greeted by his girls!

 We planted a large garden at the farm but due to the crazy rains in 

June and the lack of rain in July and August, our garden only produced

tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash. We have been eating A LOT

of the said veggies. Here's Kiera spiraling a zucchini to use as spaghetti.

As you can see, she takes her job seriously...What a determined look!

 Selfie at the pool!

 On my very first day of summer vacation, I was lightly rear-ended. 

It did minor damage, but since the car was brand new, we got it fixed. 

Kiera went with me to get the rental car, and when the lady asked

if a mid-sized sedan would be okay, Kiera piped up and asked if we

could have a van. The lady granted Kiera's wish, she was so happy. 

And if a van wasn't enough to make this girl grin, we stopped at 

Dunkin' Donuts for a treat!

I was on the interview team this summer and Kiera tagged along

one day for an interview. We stopped in my classroom and Kiera

wrote this sweet message for the kids...

 Sherwin Williams is Dave's third home (after our house and the farm!)

and he considers the employees there to be his "fr-amily."  A year ago

this summer, one of member of the SW gang, Kelly, was in a tragic car accident.

To honor  Kelly on her one year anniversary, her family organized a balloon launch.

  

 We went sea glass hunting with B and L at our favorite beach.

The water was extremely rough that day and there was hardly any 

beach, but we managed to have a good time.
