Goodbye Summer

We had a fabulous summer.. we played in the sun, we swam in our blow-up pool, played with a water table (thanks Uncle Steve for both of them), went to daycare for the first time (and made new friends while there), had our first family vacation (and survived the 6 hr drive to and from), went to the Aquarium, said goodbye to friends that moved away, made new friends, went to a beach (Lily loved being in the water and Anna wasn't exactly a fan of the water; she liked the sand much better), played in the sandbox at the park for the first time, got our picture taken for the paper (if it gets published I will make sure to post it here) while on the swings at the park, learned to walk (Anna) and decided to think about trying to take a first step (Lily).
Mommy took up running, got glasses, knitted herself a summer top, and started the ambitious project of knitting a dress each for Anna and Lily.
Daddy is getting closer to having a driver's license (hopefully before the Permit expires in November), made new friends while we were on vacation and has been fanatical about keeping the apartment clean..

But now it's time for Fall... so I will be starting to take the summer clothes out of the closets and replacing them with clothing to wear in the Fall and Winter. I think my own closet will be the last to be turned over since I'm usually very warm (though I did drink some Hot Chocolate after I got home from Knitting Group tonight since I was freezing) and I hate having to change out my clothes. Both Lee and I need to step up our search for new jobs. I've actually been sending out resumes all summer with very few bites in response. I'm thinking of trying to do something with my cakes.. I've been leaving postcards at various places (like the library and the grocery store). Hopefully I'll get some bites with that since there are tons of reasons to celebrate with cake (not just birthdays).
