Summer has been full of sunshine and some usual events and unusual events, too.
Fishing on the shore and throwing rocks is always fun.
Soccer camp is over but soccer teams have now formed and continue through August.
Our son Josh signed up for his first ever triathlon and his goal was to ‘not drown and to finish’. He achieved both and finished well. Laura was there to see it in person and document this epic achievement.
He was being cheered on from near and far!
We were all so impressed and happy that he could accomplish this goal. I was particularly happy he didn’t drown!
After all that excitement we were ready for a week of Vacation Bible School and that will be a separate post.
We are already at the middle of August and so many have started back to school already. It’s always hard for me to get my mind wrapped around that since I’m such a traditional school year kind of gal. Start up after Labor Day and end by or shortly after Father’s day! Happy days of summer to all of you.

Congrats to your son on finishing the triathlon. Beautiful photos of your family.
Take care, enjoy your day!
…enjoy summer while you can.
I love to see the face of a child . . .smiling and running and playing! Congratulations to your son on finishing the triathlon. Our son completed ONE quite a few years ago and marked that off his list :-). School here in Alabama started back at the beginning of August and they get out at the end of May. When I was a kid, I’m pretty sure we didn’t start until after Labor Day.
Such an accomplishment to compete in a triathlon! Congrats to your son. Darling photos of the grands enjoying the last days of summer. School began here last week in some counties–I’m a after Labor Day gal myself. Enjoy your day, Ellen.
Congrats to your son…quite an accomplishment! Love the soccer pictures.

Love those goals: finish and not drown. Well done, Josh!
