What have I been up to?

I must say, there hasn't been a whole lot of creative projects being accomplished at my house lately. In fact, this summer has been filled with all kinds of other events that there hasn't been time to sew. Fortunately I haven't been sitting on my butt all summer eating bon bons (although I did have Godiva Cheesecake from here last night...I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!) but have been very busy with running, fundraising and playing with my kids. So here's to my summer fav's:

1. Cynthia and I have been hard at work trying to figure out ways to raise money for our race. Here we are at a charity car wash and I am glad we were able to capture this moment. Cynthia is an amazing person who has overcome many obstacles. She is a caring person and goes the extra mile in all that she does.
 

2. We joined our pool this summer and man was that the best decision EVER! Won't miss another summer without that. The benefit of being members of the pool meant that Sadie could participate with the swim team. I was so proud of her for all that she accomplished. She was very proud of her trophy!
 

3. This young man is growing up to be such a polite and thoughtful kid. I have really enjoyed watching him help with Derek and be kind to those around him. I enjoy his energy and laughter. We enjoyed a trip to Grandma & Grandpa Johns' house this summer where we lived the high life.
 

3. This about sums up his summer! Always on the go, but also very patient and willing to go along with the flow. Derek is such a pleasure to have around and I love having him as my constant side kick.
 

So, here's to a summer well spent and fall just around the corner. I can't wait to start creating again, that is after my marathon is completed!
