Summer Success!

When we started out the summer break I was a little concerned knowing that I would be at the end of my pregnancy and therefore limited in some of the things that we could do, but here we are already at the end of break and I can not believe that it is already time for Leila to go back to school. The summer has flown by and we have had a lot of fun. We have bonded more as a family and are living a little more simply and happily. Here are some of the things that we got to do this summer:

Swenson Family Reunion in Oregon. Mick and Jessica got married. 2 family camping trips. 1 Father daughter camping trip. Pool Parties at friends' homes. Swimming Lessons. A magic show. Splash Park. Library. Zoo. Playgrounds. Movie Nights. A visit from Great Grandpa Burgoyne and Rayma. Playdates with friends. Visits from Matt, Amy and Todd. Visit from Nate, Heidi, Kezia, Ivy and Elysse. Visit from Grandma Burgoyne. Joy was born. Visits to the donut shop by our house. Pool with Grandma. Lots of adventures with Grandma. Leila lost her first tooth. It's been a lot of fun. 

This morning as I was tidying up a bit I realized that I had not heard the girls in a while and was squealing with delight to see how nicely they were all playing. These girls have been so patient, wonderful, helpful, sweet, joyful girls this summer. It has been a simply wonderful summer.
