this is us*

and then the calendar hit the end of august...

fourth and seventh graders are running like clock-work. these two never cease to amaze me. i guess that's what it's all about.

while we are three weeks into it, it still is very much summertime around here. fresh fruits and veggies are abundant and all of the animals are still enjoying our summer living.

i'm looking forward to september. but for now - i'm reveling in the sunshine (and trying to ignore the heat as best i can).














* and yes - this is a 1D reference. and we are off to the opening night tomorrow ;)
