This blog has not seen much time for me as we've been busy with: planting the garden at the farm, the removal of Ella's cast, a week of swim lessons, making a garden and planting it in our yard, a long weekend on Long Lake, a week of Vacation Bible School, Thursdays on First, visiting with a friend form Michigan, the removal of Ella's splint and a week of soccer camp for James. That was just June.
July found us enjoying a long weekend at Lake Kabetogama, having a fun day of rides at the Winona County Fair, at a water park with some cousins, more Thursday's on First, a day at the Dodge County Fair, a week long trip to Sacramento, park time with the Mom and Kids group, the opening of the Miracle of Birth Center, a demo derby, many days at the Olmsted County Fair and a newly stained deck.
August was supposed to be our calm month. In August Ella and James had another week of swimming lessons, Mark and I celebrated our 12th anniversary with a trip to a B&B in Red Wing, I had a birthday, Ella had a fever for five days and a trip to the ER, we spent a weekend at Good Earth Village for family camp with 25 other church families, went to Niagara Cave, spent the day at Valley Fair, Claranna had a fever for six days, Mark had a birthday, we enjoyed a sponsored week at the local athletic club with our friends, James learned to ride a two wheel bike, Mark and I saw Hairball (a 80's cover band) with friends, had family pictures taken, spent the day at the State Fair, made salsa and tomato sauce from the garden produce, and had some great evenings with friends. Whew!
And now, it is September. Summer is over. I don't have to wonder where our summer went since it is written above. It was a great summer full of wonderful memories and moments, but it really did whirl by and I can't believe it is over!
