summer numbers

Ian, Drew & Seth - the little boy trio
6 days at a family reunion & 35 days of company at our house in 48 days
probably some of the best times I've ever had with my family
 and just when I was craving family time
meant a full, fun, wonderful summer

Growing Emmie
Rachel, Haley & Callie - the 14-year-old girls
Katie, Hannah, Lauren & Aimie - the 11-year-old cousins
 this has got to be one of the cutest profiles ever!
dog pile on Uncle Michael
but it also means that I am so very exhausted physically, mentally, & emotionally

in the past 7 days (and coming 3) we are cramming in
our anniversary
Camden's birthday (and Callie's was the week before)
the last bit of company
3 back-to-school nights
shopping for 3 children individually
5 haircuts to give
testing for 2 boys
a hike-in-campout for Tyler & the scouts
several fun evening events
& some things we didn't fit in over the summer yet

in 4 days school begins for the oldest 3 children - give me a week or 2 and I will be recuperated and wishing for more family time
Most of the clan, July 2012 - we missed the Boston branch, 2 missionaries & lots of grown-up grandkids/families
