Since I didn't post much this summer (sorry) here are a few of the highlights:
 |
| Sam turned 13! |
|
|
 | | |
| He got a ukulele for his birthday. |
|
 |
| We went to the zoo as part of our July 4th weekend. |
 |
| We went to the balloon launch on the Fourth. There were Star Wars characters about! |
 |
| The Darth Vader balloon. Unfortunately minutes after this, the wind kicked up and all the balloons deflated. It was fun while it lasted. |
 |
| We enjoyed our favorite July 4th treat, firecracker strawberries. (I saw the same recipe in Family Fun this summer, but they had renamed them revolutionary berries. Whatever.) |
 |
| Rusty playing in the Salem Days parade. We got an insane amount of candy at this parade. |
Of course, you've already heard about our trip to Wyoming. Other than that, we spent the summer swimming, picnicking, watching Phineas and Ferb, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Stargate SG1 (we love streaming Netflix!) and generally enjoying ourselves.
Everyone survived the first week of school. They love their new teachers and classes. I think Rusty will love Salem Hills. Xander starts preschool tomorrow and I'll officially have a child in every level from preschool through college.
It was another emotional week for me. There were lots of tears and worries and more than one sleepless night. I am adjusting, though. Ryan is doing great and loving Snow. He made section leader of the Wind Ensemble! I'll be enjoying the time to myself while Xander is at preschool. Life moves on and it's all good!
