missing the beach…
With the date being August 31, I feel like our summer is over. Our daughter started school last week and our son had his pre-kindergarten orientation this morning. He will be starting next week along with all of the other kids in the Pittsburgh Public Schools. Our daughter wasn’t so happy that she had to start more than a week sooner than her brother, but I guess that is how it works with charter schools.
We had a great summer, besides it ending so quickly. There was camping trips (and hopefully we can fit a few more in!), baseball games, library visits (including the grand opening of the newly renovated East Liberty library), long visits to the park, sibling rivalry, eyeglasses for our son, ice cream trucks, sewing, thrift store shopping, visits to Vanilla and Dozen for cupcakes, canoeing at Cook Forest, kayaking at Lake Elizabeth, skateboarding in parking lots, swimming, naps, bike rides through our neighborhood, new tattoos, hiking in Frick Park, many picnics which usually included our own family baseball game and I am sure there is quite a few things I missed. I am sad to see summer go and the kids spending their days in school, but the cooler weather will be nice along with coffee shop visits with the mister.
and this pup joined us this year. she was well behaved the whole time, and did awesome for the full 13 hour car ride!
we also celebrated our birthdays and 8th wedding anniversary!
