catching up with the rest of the summer...

I, again, commend all of you who have blogs of your own and are able to actually update them regularly. I have fallen behind and am trying to catch up. We have had a busy summer and the last few weeks have been jam packed. On 8/20, my mom came to NY for a 3 week visit... the girls LOVE having her and its always a good time. The first few pictures were taken while we were just goofing off in a restaurant...

Most of the elementary schools in Three Village were lucky to receive a new playground this summer. I took the girls up to Minnesauke with Taylor and Emily to check it out...

The slides are HUGE...

I am not sure this particular piece is going to make it for the long haul. It is a rock climbing type of thing. It is actually pretty high and think that it might be just a little too dangerous.

on August 17th, Gretchen had a BBQ at her house... below is a picture of my beautiful niece Jackie and her fiance Anthony :)
