Back to August
So here are more moments from August...
Our first weekend back we watched the C kids on Friday. Saturday morning was my first open water/lake swim. I went w/ Moll and M'liss to Spaulding. It was a bit of a shocker for me. I swam well, but did it all w/o putting my head in the water... I hadn't bought goggles yet. The lake is a bit more 'creepy' than nice clear pool water! Not being able to see what is 'out there' increased my heart rate a bit, gotta say! So glad to have gotten some lake time in before the race, it proved to be very helpful to help me stay calm and just swim!
Molly had a b-day and we were able to go out together w/ the C's for her day, yes clear back in August! We went to eat at Carraba's, Molly's fav. We swapped stories of our summers. We came back to our house to watch a movie. It was OK, still not bad enough to top Molly's movie faux paux of years ago! Movie was of course after a stop at cold stone, our treat! Wish I'd taken my camera. We so love our friends. It was a ball, we always laugh our bellies off together. Syd was the rock star and watched ALL of our kids! So nice!
Here are some randoms from our first Sunday home. G found this cool bug shell. Love that my boys like to be together!
Monday the 13 we met Jamie and Melissa at the river. I did scrap this super fast and easy here it is...
That Wednesday I taught a little class at the church on home decor. I think someone took photos, I should try to get those. It went well, but man, there is so much to cover and we had so little time. It was fun to do and our meeting together after was neat.
Thursday the 16 we went to Spaulding in the morning... (special secret thanks to Shannon for helping us be more legit on our entrance!) Oh how we love summer! Last year as we came home from vacation it felt we didn't do much before school started. I feel this year has been different. We are making the most of what is left of our summer here in Buffalo...
