Good bye, Summer. Hello, Fall.

We had such an amazing summer!!!  I am sad to see this season go, but I'm totally looking forward to everything this fall has to offer!  Here's a quick recap of everything you missed while I completely ignored my blog.  (Warning: picture-heavy post!)


An amazing trip to Walt Disney World with my in-laws....
Jesse and Gigi on the boat heading for the Magic Kingdom.
Grandpa, Jesse the skeleton pirate, and Gigi after Jesse's transformation at the Pirate League.
Micah slept through a lot of the trip.  (This was the last week with the pacifier.)
Grandpa, Jesse, and Gigi enjoying dinner at the Primetime Cafe.
Daddy, Micah, Mickey, and Jesse at breakfast at O'Hana.
That's one happy, Mickey-loving boy!
Playing on the awesome playground at Epcot.
Plews are friends, not food.
It was so hot, but the popsicles were a good treat to help cool us down!
They really love each other!
Family shot with Chip and Dale.
The whole gang in front of the Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom.
Aw!  Brothers!  
Singing in the rain with his Dumbo hat.
Stylish little guys, waiting in line.
Picked tomatoes at a tomato farm with the boys (after the bugs destroyed all of our plants...ugh!), and made our own sauce and tomato soup....




Tomato snack
By the end, Micah was covered, head-to-toe in tomato juice and seeds.

Took a bunch of trips to the pool, Savannah, and playgrounds....
Jesse loved snacks by the pool...
and so did Micah.

Swimmies!
Lunch by the pool with our sweet friend, Sadie

So that was our summer in a nut shell.  I just love that we got to spend time with our family and friends, and now that school is in full swing for Jesse,  my heart is overflowing with thankfulness that he likes school so far this year.  I know it's only been 2 weeks, but already, there is something different about that kid.  He wants to tell me what he did, and just gushes about how awesome his teacher is.  SO THANKFUL!

His first day of FIRST GRADE!!!!
Walking to school
Jesse and his teacher, Mrs. Howell.
Micah was really upset to leave Jesse at school!!!
I can't wait to see what the fall brings!!!  I hope y'all had a great summer, too!

  1. I thoroughly enjoyed this recap. I think my favorite was the pirate piggies. I'm so glad Jesse is having a good time at school and that he's telling you about it!! That is awesome news.
