Life Lately: August 2021

It’s been a busy summer. And now, here we are at the end of it, starting a new school year. I’m trying to collect my thoughts and remember all that we’ve done so far this year!

Summer tends to be a whirlwind, and I’ve never felt that 7 weeks in the whole year went by faster, especially with young children. We did not do as many outings as in years past, but we did make it to some local splash pads and playgrounds, the zoo, the library several times, and met up with friends a few times. We spent lots of time at the grandparents’ pool and had fun mornings at day camp (all 4 children attended a half-day camp at their preschool). Even with plenty of activities and outdoor time, it’s still been a more relaxed schedule. I’ll be the first to admit I’m having a hard time waking up earlier now that our school routine has restarted!
