The first day of school means the end of summer and it's been a busy one. We took a trip to the Adirondacks and then to the beach for a birthday/retirement party for Pop-Pop. Kara's foot has been slow to heal so the girls spent two weeks with their grandparents while Aaron and Kara travelled back and forth. The girls had a terrific time and we are in debt to them for their generosity and care (but not enough to give them an additional grandchild...Nicole, we look to you).
Since we've been home, Kara and the girls have been entertaining themselves around the house which resulted in a fleece fashion show in 80 degree weather. Julia is Monkey See and Charlotte is Monkey Do. We have a pretty serious case of older-sister worship these days.
Aaron took Julia on her first camping trip (in the backyard) over Labor Day weekend and they both had a great time. Aaron was convinced that Julia had a great night's sleep, until she feel asleep on her floor for two hours the next afternoon.
