Summer break came to an end, school began, and we had to say good-bye to a dear old friend. August was filled with it’s ups and downs, and I have many photos to share with you.

Thade started the sixth grade. He is off to a fantastic school year so far.

Dylan became a third grader. He really likes his new school, he is off to a great start this year too.

Agnes started kindergarten, and she also lost her first tooth.

We enjoyed the lazy days of Summer, and the tiny kiddos played outside on several rainy days.

We still have lots of pretty blooms in the garden.

Okra blossoms are one of my very favorite blooms around.

Miss Mia kept us busy. That pup seriously loves to play fetch.

Miss Lula arrived, and we nursed her back to health. She has grown, and she is happy, and very playful.

Sadly, our dear friend and kitty Loki passed away. He was sixteen years old, and we miss him terribly.

I’m ready for Autumn leaves, cooler weather, and rainy days. We’ll see what September brings our way.
