It’s September. Not May, June, July or even August – but September (12th to be exact). I have no idea where the summer went, but I’m pretty sure we missed it. With two surgeries and moving to a new home full of projects, we’ve somehow fast forwarded right past that beautiful time of year in which you bask in the glow of the warm sun!
As a last minute attempt to enjoy any type of summer vacation, we went on our annual trip to the Dells this past weekend. When I say the Dells, most parents wouldn’t envision a relaxing time, but we do it a bit different & always have a great time. No overly-crowded water parks or long lines, but instead a stay at a cabin on the river with very few other guests. The weather was beautiful and would have been considered “scorching hot” if we weren’t in the water the entire day. It’s crazy to think last year I was super pregnant with Will and this year he was independently sitting on the beach, drinking a beer (I kid) with his buddy Bex!
We’ve lived in our home just over 2 months and we’ve accomplished a ton (even if it doesn’t feel like it). In that time we’ve built a fence, painted the kitchen, hall, living room, Ella’s room, landscaped (planted & removed) and tackled some small craft projects (stairwell, front door, etc). In addition to all the other things we do – Joe thinks we should try to blog the before & after’s of each project. I agree, but currently I don’t have a ton of time to do it well, so you’ll have to stay tuned for a photo update soon!
