Scenes From A Summer Just Past

Well it certainly isn't summer anymore. My, oh my, not sure where the summer went. We stayed so busy- what with work- and the coming and going of family- and of course continued (yes and still continuing) work on the house. But there were moments- moments caught in a picture that tell the disconnected story of the summer just past. So before we firmly close the door on summer and turn to walk through fall into winter we thought we'd look back just one more time..

A walk with Brandy with our brand new Mikayla in Las Vegas...

And Mikayla loved the pedicure-nothing like cuddling in a vibrating chair- think she could have enjoyed for hours (and me too!)...

And then what can be better than popcorn and a movie with Grandpa?

Or better yet- playing with Barbie. The Barbie dolls and house handed down from Aunt Mary to Amber and now enjoyed by the new generation of girls- Hayes was much too little of course- but not Grandpa and Reeder!

And summer wouldn't be summer without a walk to the ice cream shop...

A Reds Game...

The 4th of July parade that always goes right in front of our house. We always have family and friends who come by to enjoy it with us.

Some of us wore red, white and blue to celebrate the day.

Climbing a tree.....

And of course, trips to the playground...

Who has the best cartwheel?

Nice round off Mary!

And a trip to the pool..

And the biggest splash of all- Way to go Pat! And the screaming all the way down the tube was a great touch!

Peaches and of course a Peach Pie!

Dress up in my old dresses...

Even my wedding and prom dresses!

A launching of the fish...

Summer evenings on the porch...

Piano camp!

A trip to Philadelphia..

We matched!

And to finish up, the first day in a new school.

Good bye Summer- See you next year!
