Savoring Summer

The rest of the summer wasn't as exciting but we made the most of the casual schedule and hanging out with friends.

Tea party with Madison Wagonner.

Laughing with the Porters- Eden, Delia, and Gwen.

Weston's new book obsession- jets and military vehicles. Oh boy. He reminds me of my little brother Rich at this age. My aunt used to say "I don't know if that kid is going to save the world or destroy it." Rich is a dentist and a dad now so I'm not too worried about Weston's hobbies. Maybe he'll work at Lockhead Martin with my other brother Jesse.

And Emma, she reads everything. She would get a stack like this when we'd go to the library once or twice a week and always be done with them and ready for another stack by the next visit. Anne of Green Gables, Percy Jackson, and Sammy Keyes were some of her favorite series this summer.

Forts with friends. The girls did this one so of course it had furniture, decorations and accessories.

Andrew art. This might be scarier than Weston's military books.

Weston the paper airplane expert. He's checked out every paper airplane book he can find, some many times and has a box full of his creations in his room. He really is quite good and loves it so much! I used to help him with tricky folds when he first got started but his skills have far surpassed mine and he's got it all figured out on his own.

Weston giving Andrew T-ball lessons. Weston has a couple of baseball seasons under his belt and has taken pride in his game. Andrew wanted to give T-ball another shot and asked his dad to sign him up. He's not interested in practicing or developing skills though he just loves the snacks and Gatorade.
