Has it really been 4 months since my last post??
We had a very busy summer this year, and I am finally catching up on our blog! To recap some of the highlights from our summer, we celebrated birthday month in June, had some of our family visit us from Philadelphia, and took the kids to Kings Island for a fun filled day!! Many more fun times in between, however, I will not try to list them all.
Here is a fun photo of Derek blowing out his birthday candles this year! The kids were both ready to help him. :)
Papa and Nanny Santan came to visit from Philly for Derek and Logan's birthdays! We loved having them here!!
Logan had his 8th birthday this year and we celebrated it with a Super Mario themed pool party! He had some school and church friends, along with several family members, join him to celebrate his birthday! He received some great gifts, but his absolute favorite present was his iPod touch!!!
Derek's sister Wendy, her husband Chris, and daughter Avery (and little baby boy in her belly) came to visit us from Philly over the 4th of July weekend! We went to watch the Dublin parade, and the kids had tons of fun playing in the water at the splash park!! The cousins got along great and had so much fun playing together!
Another fun day this past summer was the day we took the family to Kings Island!!! Logan loved all the roller coasters so much (even the huge hills and upside down ones), and Derek conquered his fear of them! And little Elise just loved to see Snoopy! The kids rides and play area all were a Snoopy theme, and we also went to the Snoopy Rocks on Ice show! She just loved it all!!!
There were many fun memories this summer, in which I cannot even begin to name them all, and we are now on to the new school year again. Logan has started 3rd grade this year! Next month Elise is getting ready to move up to the next class at daycare, she will be 18 months already!
Looking forward, we have a fun family vacation planned to Disney World next month! Yea!!! We are SO excited! Look for a blog post on our Disney trip soon!
