Summer Recap..

Well, summer is over and how quickly it flew by!
Fall is here with it’s cool nights and falling leaves..(big giant leaves by the way from our Sycamore trees!)
So many happy memories made and so many fun pictures taken!
Some of the pictures I've included were not technically taken in the summer, but they fit into or are a precursor to summer memories…
I lost my last Grandmother just before the summer began, but I have some wonderful pictures of us gathered around her just a few months before she passed away.
I found out I will be a Grandma earlier this year, but the excitement (and the belly!) have been growing all summer long!
Lacey left us after four happy years, taking our little munchkin Dakota with her, but leaving Montana Dog for us to get to know, as her happy, silly personality began to shine through whatever sad and scary past experiences she’s had.
We had a wonderful visit to Minnesota to meet newly discovered family and reconnect with Ric’s kids and grandkids. What a gorgeous place it is! So much water! So much green stuff everywhere!
Our friends Jeff and Christine were married in a beautiful ceremony early in the summer and we were delighted to be a part of the happy celebration!
Jamie’s twin’s, Isabelle and Michaela made their debut in the spring and we’ve had a wonderful time watching Jamie’s amazing transformation into SuperMom – and watching the girls grow into sweet, happy babies all summer long! I expect they will be toddling along on trips to the river by next summer!
Cindy and Andy came all the way to California to tie the knot in a gorgeous setting – Ric and I had a great time celebrating with them and wish them every happiness!
Ric’s high school class had their 45th ((gasp!)) reunion in June –what a blast it was; staying in the dorms, horseback riding in the Ojai hills and getting to relive some of their history together while Thacher wined and dined us for the weekend!
So many other happy memories of the summer I can’t list them all, the Mother’s Day and Father’s day parties, the Baby Shower, trips to the Harbor….
Here is a little photo summary of our Summer 2008
