September means back to school, and this year we have a first grader and a preschooler. There were lots of mixed emotions about the end of summer/beginning of the school year (not for me though, I was ready for it)! The boys were both excited and nervous, but they grew very close over the summer, and were pretty sad to have to spend the days apart again. So sweet!

The Dog Days of Summer

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Lindsey

Here are some of our pics from the end of summer. There were pool days, picnics, birthday parties, shopping outings, trips to the park(s), science projects, home projects, and newborn babies to meet.

Pullman

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Lindsey

At the end of August, we drove to Pullman to visit my brother and his family. We had a great time, and the kids had a blast playing together! We visited the University of Idaho Arboretum, the Moscow farmer’s market, and a nearby park. We enjoyed delicious homemade pizza and huckleberry pancakes. All in all, a great trip!

Excelsior Camping Trip

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Lindsey

In August, Jonathan and the boys (well, two of them anyway) went camping with a few (about fifty) friends from Bellingham. My boys love the outdoors, and they had a terrific time, no surprise there! Meanwhile Silas and I enjoyed the relative peace at home. I even had time to begin a massive kitchen cabinet project. Pictures to come once it’s complete.
