To new beginnings and seasons!!

I cannot believe that it is Labor Day weekend, summer flew by! I swear that it was just Memorial weekend and we were so excited to open up the lake, now this weekend we are sadly closing it. Sometimes I don't feel like going to the lake but now that it is over for this year I wish we had another month. We had a lot of big changes occur over the summer. I am ready for the fall season to start.

This summer Anthony learned how to swim w/o his life jacket- he is a fish, somersaults, goggles, swimming is a whole new world. Alex has transformed from a little 4 month old to a 7 month old that is "almost" crawling and eating baby food. He now plays with Anthony and is just starting to irritate him when he rips one of his pictures or drools all over one of his toys.

We had plenty of fun weekends at the lake. Many memorable moments. 4th of July, smores, and me falling off the dock at 4 am- long story. Erik probably playing his worst round of golf in history. In his "defense" he wasn't using his own clubs. Losing Charlie in the middle of the night, unfortunately he figured out which camper we were in. Disney World and Florida was so fun, a vacation that we will never forget. Hopefully Alex will forgive us some day for not taking him.

Erik and I are now getting in the fall/winter mode of updating our house. We got new furniture for the basement (new to us anyways) and it is super comfy. Leslie took our sectional that we had and we are going to transform the basement into Erik's dream hideaway and toy room. So the red walls are going to become neutral- not sure on a color yet, the big TV is being moved to the opposite end, and the Centipede game and toys will occupy the other side. The other project we are going to tackle is our kitchen, I am hoping that we can afford to do that this winter but we'll have to see how many placements I make. Cross your fingers ladies!

Well I hope everyone takes the time to enjoy their long weekend. It is going to be awhile before the next.
