dancing

my favorite part of today:
Dancing with Lilly to this song and then having Kirst join us
A small sweet moment with 2 of my girls that made me so thankful to be a mom
I love my life

Summer Pics

So, summer really is over. Both of the girls went back to school today, I only made lunch for one kid and my kitchen is still clean from when I cleaned it this morning. It went by so fast (much faster than my first summer as a mom that's for sure) and I must say, it was a really great summer. We had a blast! Here are some photo's that I didn't have time to blog about so enjoy-there are quite a few.

The Hall family trip to Oakland and a beach house in Monterrey

24th of July Bee's Game that didn't end up being a game so we sat for 4 hours in the blistering sun and waited for the fireworks-but hey, we got 2 for 1 drinks all night long!
