Summer ended too fast, and our August was packed with more fun. We did more Cherry Hill days and even had some days in the neighborhood pool all by ourselves. We did our Free Ice Cream truck which is always one of our highlights of summer. We loved cruising around the neighborhood handing out ice cream. We will miss that SO much, it was bittersweet that it was our last year doing it with this neighborhood.

I went to the BEST Emma M. Lion tea party and it was one of the highlights of my summer! Every detail was absolutely perfect.

And then it was our back to school feast and the first day of school! We love making fancy food and giving everyone a word to focus on. Graham’s word this year was ADVENTURE so he could look forward with happiness to the adventure of moving and school. Wells word was RESPECT so he could focus on being kind and respectful to others in Kindergarten. Clarkson’s word was AGILITY so he could adapt well to all the changes ahead. I’m so proud of these boys and who they are becoming!
Wells rocked sunglasses on the drive to the first day and was cool as a cucumber. He KILLED it and wanted school to be longer. Graham really loves his teacher and was happy to be back with friends. And Clarkson had a hard adjustment to being home alone with no brothers! He wandered around saying ‘boys?’ for the first few days.

Wells said he wants to be a scientist when he grows up, while Graham says he wants to be an ice cream man, an author, an illustrator, or artist!

What a summer, what a crazy year, and now back into the swing of school and real life!
