This was a hard month.

Nick went out of the country for 10 days and although his Mom came to help for most of those it hit our family hard.

It was rough.

I was so relieved when I saw him get off that plane.

Best day ever.

Grandma with the girls.

Fair time!

Having a fair to go to for several days gave a big incentive to follow the rules and helped the girls work on staying in control while excited.

Plus, it let me take fair pics.

I love the colors, fun, and beautiful light of a summer fair.

We learned A LOT in this month.

Like my husband can never leave.

Ha!

This little face.

She has changed so much since then.

Suddenly having five kids meant we needed to get a lot of energy out!

She makes you want to throw leaves in the air all day, just for this face.

I am pretty sure I fell into bed exhausted every night this month.

Ha!
