Obviously, I took a sabbatical from blogging this summer. I didn't do it intentionally, but our summer was crazy and blogging always seemed to get pushed further and further back until it was too far gone to recover from.
We started the summer off with a bang - we went to the beach and my iphone was stolen. Nice. So *most* of our pics from that trip are gone forever. But I do have a few....
(Will lost his first tooth at the beach too!)
We also had one of the wettest summers ever recorded down here in GA - so although my boys spent a few good weeks in the pool for swimming lessons, we didn't actually see much pool time this summer. Bummer.
Mr. Brooks had his tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes placed in both ears. That was a super fun two weeks at the Rutledge house. Not.
(obviously after the funny medicine)
After about 10 mins of "funny medicine" Brooks was having trouble holding his little noggin up. So his head was bobbing around and out of nowhere, he exclaimed "GUYS! You know what's holding my head up right now?! MY NECK!" It was so funny! The entire group burst into laughter. He immediately passed out.
At his post-surgery check-up he was 100% back to his rambunctious self.
The husband and I
Miss Tessa celebrated her first birthday - YAYYYYY! And as typical with the third child, my effort for her party was so minimal that I didn't even send out invites. I actually (gasp!) TEXTED our friends and family the week before and told them to come over for cake. See? And just like that - she had a birthday party. It was soooooo awesome.
And Mr. Will started kindergarten. Oh man. I am still getting used to him being old enough for kindergarten. And some days, I want to go to the school and jerk him out, saying "ummmm - let's just forget this ever happened. He'll be back next year." But he likes it. For the most part. He doesn't so much like the school work, but he loves eating at the big picnic tables (the cafeteria) and playing on the playground (he actually just informed me yesterday that he doesn't so much play on the playground, as he walks over to the wood line and hangs out, pretending he's tending to his imaginery horses). Computer class and PE are hits too (he's done his first crab-crawl relay too! Anyone else remember those??)
So yea - that's our summer in a nutshell. Now that it's September, I'm ready for cooler (and hopefully dry) weather, jeans, football, pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, pumpkin patches and Halloween candy. Hopefully our days will be calm enough for my blogging too :)
