Soaking Up Summer


This is the last week of summer for me. My 8 year old heads to second grade next week, and my twins head to Kindergarten the following week. Trying to soak up the last of summer this week with one final beach visit and lots of family time. Summer 2015 has been a great one, but it has gone by FAST. How is it that 2+ months have already passed, and it's time for packing backpacks and lunches (ugh) again. Hope you're soaking up the end of summer, too...enjoy!

Blessings,
