Wrapping Up Summer

I'll fill in the blog with some pictures courtesy of Pops (we never seem to have our camera on us anymore) of the end of our summer.  We spent the greater part of August packing, trashing and organizing and prepping for our move back to Houston, but we did get to have some fun.

One weekend we came into town to see the home we leased (sight-unseen!) and it just so happened we were able to meet family in The Woodlands at Tommy Bahama's to celebrate Aunt Pat's birthday!  Erin had even flown in from Denver, so it was great to see everyone and made us excited about the move.

Judy's gift to Pat was books from each decade of her life (I won't give away that number!), whatever book was the #1 book that year, and she gave us all clues to see who could guess.  As much as I like to read, I didn't guess any! 

What are you looking at? 

Happy Birthday, Pat! 

All the kids were actually very well-behaved at dinner (I was shocked!), but we did get up and walk with Sawyer several times outside.  It broke his heart that we wouldn't let him play in the splash pad, so after dinner we took off his shirt and let him run and splash to his heart's content.

 Then he wanted to play soccer with the big kids!

And much to their mother's excitement, Hannah and Katie jumped in on the splashing too... in their dry clean only outfits!  Oops!  Glad all the kiddos could have fun though - I can't wait for Sawyer to have more second cousin play time!

We made the move at the end of August, and we've been enjoying our time back in Houston with friends and family.  Now if only I had time to finish unpacking all of the boxes!
