Well, it's official. Summer 2017 is over. But man, did we make the most of it. Beaches, lakes, trips with family and friends, parks, picnics, camps, and swimming, swimming, swimming. It was a blast, and it's bittersweet that school is back in session. To cap off our great summer, Grandma and Grandpa C. visited over Labor Day weekend. We enjoyed a few meals out, some great parks, and evenings under the pergola. On Tuesday, Ella began her career as a first grader. She wasn't thrilled about ending the summer fun while her little brother and sister remained at home (Jack starts this week), but once she saw her friends, she was back in the saddle.
