Where has the summer gone?

Good question, since today is the first day of fall.

Let’s see…we visited our family in Pittsburgh and went to a very cool museum…

We visited Washington DC for a day…

Washington Monument

And the next morning visited Mount Vernon and learned all about George Washington…

We took a brief trip to the Jersey Shore (which the older kids LOVED even though the water was much too cold for my Caribbean sensibilities.  Ben agreed.)…

Meanwhile, Jonny turned six…

Isaac turned nine, and Natey turned one.  Isaac decided on hermit crabs for his birthday present…

Mark had a birthday this summer too, but I forget how old he is!  ;)

Benji had his last home-based Early Intervention sessions with his awesome therapists, and got to visit his new preschool…

…we played too many video games, learned some new piano pieces and read a couple of Narnia stories and Charlotte’s Web and tons of books for the school reading list, cooked with lots of fresh veggies from our local CSA, and before I knew it fall was here, and I hadn’t updated my blog in months!

I hope everyone had as much fun this summer as we did!

    Looks like a busy travel season this summer!! We played too many video games too. That habit has been seriously curbed with the school year starting!!

    Ben started school, right? How is that going?

    Looks like you had a busy summer! Kids all look great! We also played way too many video games, watched too much tv, but also read some Narnia books as well as a few others. I too need to update my blog. Being on facebook is certainly a distraction from blogging.
