August 2013

I just looked at my last post and it was from July.  It's now September 3.  If you were wondering where I've been, let me just sum up my August.

• We went to the beach.  Ok - maybe that was July.  But that's really how behind I am.  Graham wasn't thrilled with the water.  But he ultimately had a pretty good time.

 

• We ate some ribs and they were delicious.  Ok - I ate beef brisket and pulled pork.  You get the point.  Sadly I have no pictures of us at ribfest, but suffice to say, a good time was had by all (including Graham, who ate food I brought from home). 
• Graham has become increasingly obsessed with the iPad and iPhones. 

• And with wearing hats.

• Graham "let" me give him a haircut.

• I was in a wedding.  And it was beautiful.  And I took like zero pictures.  Can't wait for the ones from the photographers.

Long awaited post-wedding breakfast at Golden Harvest

• And then I immediately left for a 4 day, 6 flight whirlwind college fair tour with Colleges that Change Lives. 

• Where I flew Southwest Airlines for the first time in probably 15 years.  Did you know you get to choose your own seat based on order that you check in?  Brilliant!
• Also - I got really into taking pictures of Buzz for our twitter feed.  #travelbuzz

• We took advantage of our Meijer Gardens membership. 

• And then I left again for another multi-city college fair tour. 

• When I got home, I met Graham and his friends on their field trip to Houseman's Ice Cream.  He was more excited about the ice cream. 

• My handsome husband was best man in his friend's wedding. This time I took photos, because, well, I wasn't in the wedding. And it was a less formal affair than the wedding I was in.

• I cooked some, since I just keep getting more veggies from the farm share.
• I baked some, since I always want the boys to have plenty to eat while I'm gone.
• I started reading again, but left my book at home on my second trip away from home.
• I took 2 yoga classes while on the road (one in MO and one in MN) and they were great.
• Oh yeah - I refinished a dresser and turned it into a TV stand.  

I feel like there was more - and there are certainly more videos I could post, but Blogger keeps freezing on me, so I'm going to cut my losses and leave it at this.
