Where Has Summer Gone?

Is it really possible that I didn't update the blog all summer? Now that we are a week into October I figured I'd better try and get caught up on all of our exciting happenings over the past three months before things get really overwhelming. So in the next few days I will try and include some more info about each of the kids, but here's a quick recap of our summer.

Anna took a new job teaching Reading to 5-8th graders at St. Bernard-St. Mary's School.
Kirk just started a new job managing a call center called Incept
Dominic turned 4
Natalie turned 3
Cara turned into the cutest "destroyer"
Our family took a vacation to the Smoky Mountains
We spent a lot of time enjoying the sun, swimming, and hanging out at the zoo
Lots of family came to visit: Cousins Carston and Faith (they brought Aunt Shannon and Uncle Brandt with them ;), Sarah, Bethany and Graham, aka "Uncle".

Misc. Summer Fun:

"mooing" like cows at lunch time

we had some HOT weather this summer, for Ohio...

My sister came to visit and we crammed all the kids into the car to take them to the zoo. We had a blast!

 Tennessee:

Papa keeping the kids from leaping off the mountain.

Random:

Dominic still loves to dress-up. I walked into the living room to find this guy sitting on my couch.

For almost a month Dominic insisted Daddy wear is "gorilla costume" on a daily basis.
