I know I am forgetting something....But let's just say we had a jam packed summer! We had a TON of fun, spent a lot of time in the car on road trips, and hosted a lot of guests at our little row home. We were even too busy to take pictures, little of the above list is documented in photographs, but we certainly have many wonderful memories of the Summer of 2010. I am vowing to update my blog much more frequently in the fall, I'm sure all of my fans have really been missing the updates :) We're not quite keeping up the hectic pace of the summer, but our fall isn't slowing down much, with all of the following on our agenda: Bachelorette Party, Another wedding, Mini family vacation to Miami, Halloween themed party for Ryan's 3rd Birthday, and 10 days in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. We know we are so lucky to have such a fun and exciting life, but I know all 3 of us are looking forward to this upcoming weekend with NOTHING scheduled! Maybe some errands, cleaning, laundry, apple picking and just a lot of down time. Happy Fall!!
