Day 1192 | So Long Summer

With both kids in school (I mean, Robbe only goes two half-days a week, but still!), it finally dawned on me that summer is officially over. We've had a really dreamy summer. I promise I'm not trying to present the highlight reel of our life. It really has been better than I could have imagined. The freedom of some nap-free days, the ease of the boys getting along, the too-good-to-be-true weather was just about the perfect combination.

As a nod to the Great Summer of 2017, I've given a subtitle for it from each of our family members:

Robbe - The Summer of Talking

This guy's vocabulary has exploded in the last few months. He went from two and three word phrases just five months ago and now he's telling full stories. It's been crazy impressive. 

Chase - The Summer of Ice Cream

I mean, I know it's Wisconsin (the Dairy State) but I still wasn't expecting to eat nearly as much ice cream as we did. I'm pretty sure Chase ate more ice cream (and so did Robbe, for the record) in the last three months than he has the rest of his life. I'm not complaining, I love ice cream as much as the next gal, but still!

Sara - The Summer of Reading

Since joining the Book of the Month Club, I've been a reading maniac. It's been A LONG time since I've gotten through one book, not to mention several books in three months. I can't wait to see where my next literary adventures take me.

Chris - The Summer of Socializing

We've been surprisingly popular this summer. After living a life of infrequent socialization in DC, it's been a total shift. Between family, friends, and coworkers, we managed to stay happily busy all summer long. Judging by our calendar for the next month, I'd say the trend is continuing.
