...................Fall is here, but we sure played our hearts out before it hit!

Now that it is "September", (the depressing month that just sucks the life out of you when the fun, carefree days of summer are officially over) The kids are gearing up for school and partying their hearts out the final few days of summer vacation. We were lucky enough to have cousin Zack come stay with us for a week and really got to share all that we love about where we live. We squeezed in a few nice long downhill bike rides, a short hike to Angora where we kayaked, jumped off cliffs and swam, a few days on the boat, waterslides, lazer tag etc. etc........(to name a few) I'm pretty sure he had fun and we are looking forward to his visit next year. Then, Ty and Dad flew up to Washington with Zack to spend a week visiting Tori, Jason and the rest of the family and we just got him home last night. Today, I am driving our oldest down the the DMV to take his learners permit test.....................OMG!! How old am I getting? I never thought I'd see the day. Then, tomorrow, it is off to San Fransisco for a day before heading to Bodega Bay for our annual Labor Day trip at another type of beach full of saltwater taffy , sealife and surfers and kiteboarders. Should be fun. I hope you all enjoyed your summer as much as we did and are ready for the comforts of home this fall.
Love Janelle and the Family

I figured that it would either be really, really good OR, really, really bad...........it was good!! Congrats on getting your license.

So much for a snails pace.

So, I don't know about you, but life around here seems to be snowballing for us. Faster....faster....faster. It seems the minute I turn around, one of our children is reaching yet another milestone in their lives. I try to relish the moment but so many times, it doesn't seem like we celebrate often enough some of lifes important memories or take note of some of the special messages we should be learning from our children. I am going to try to slow down a bit this month to focus a little more. (yes, it will be hard for me to slow down but I know it needs to be done.)
