I'm kind of sad summer is over. I'm glad I'll now get to catch up on some of my freelancing work that I was starting to get a bit behind on; but I'll miss our adventures from this summer.
School back in session also means my kids are a year older. Annika especially is starting to look like a young woman, much to my chagrin. Not sure I'm ready to lose my little girls to womanhood.
Megan now also is in school full-time as a kindergartener. She's loving it, and she's ready. So far, I'm enjoying that freedom. I'm guessing that, in a week or two, I'm going to start getting lonely and find the house too empty. However, I'm going to imagine, I'll also find the house cleaner.
Before school began, Dan and his brother-in-laws (sans one who had a prior engagement with active reserve duty) snuck away to the Boundary Water Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. These are a couple of my favorite shots. Probably because I love the men represented here. Love you, too, Steve, even though you're not in the pic.
Dan is looking quite mature here. I like the look, though.
We also entered projects into the Open Class at our county fair. All five of us came away with ribbons. Pretty cool for our first time entering!
And at the county fair, we met up with Jack Sparrow.
And then school began. Sigh.
