Summer has officially come to an end. We're sad to see it go, but we are looking forward to a great fall ahead. A few highlights from our last days of summer...
We met our friends at the museum last week for a fun play date:
We enjoyed celebrating Riley's birthday! On his last day of being 4 he got to pick 4 special things to do that day: play at a playground, play legos, go out to lunch - his pick was subs, and we have a tradition of letting the kids pick out a toy with some of their birthday money from Toys R Us. Of course he picked legos :). It was a really fun birthday eve! Here we are at lunch:
And here are some shots from his actual birthday:
(He had been asking for a jumbo stuffed snake for the past year. I found a tut online and promised him I'd make him one for his birthday, so here it is! He loves it! You can find the tutorial here - it was very easy to follow and make! I think I'm going to try and modify it to make a butterfly or something for Naomi's bday)

And finally, yesterday we had a brief, but fun visit from Papa and Nana on their way to their new home only 6 hrs away! We are looking forward to more frequent visits now that they will be living within driving distance.

we went for ice cream at the beach and watched the sailboats come in
Farewell summer! We'll be looking forward to your return next year!
