Despite the lingering hot, sunny weather outside, it is clear that summer is over. The definitive proof was that the pool sprung a leak and had to be dismantled (hopefully it can be patched and used again next year). And then school started! Check out the new album of pictures from the end of summer, including belt tests for both the boys, birthday parties galore, and Cara’s first day of school. So far, she’s enjoying it.

I’ve drafted at least a dozen blog posts in my head over the last few weeks, but never seem to find the time to type them up at the end of the day. I’ll have to write it into my schedule and get better about it. We’re also working on Liam’s section of the site, where you can follow his homeschooling journey. We’ve got a lot going on this month, so realistically, it won’t be up and running until the end of September. I’ve been doing a pretty good job of keeping the photos updated, though, so check back often to see pictures of our adventures!
