July 30th?!?

I can not believe it's almost August.
The last month has been kind of a whirlwind...
The lake, the race, the Gabby here for a week, soccer camp for a week, times all three boys....and this weekend, my sister-in-law's wedding.
So far we've...
Just chilled (a lot)
Lost teeth (2)
Run races (I am SO proud of this boy) ...and raised $5,400 to help with eating disorder awareness and treatment.For soccer this summer he was required to run 50miles, and get 500touches on the ball. The soccer part was a piece of cake...but not being a "runner" the 50miles was rough....but he stuck with it, and now is running 2miles a day....which I think is really impressive. And frankly might just inspire his lazy mother to try and do the same....

Watched the Brewers win (Boppa and Grandma got us some awesome seats....now the boys know that the players aren't suppose to look like ants when you go to games...and we may be in trouble)

Became very teenager-ish all of a sudden

Went to the ZOO with Aunt Gabby (and it was actually warm enough for ICEEs....small Cleveland miracle)
Touched sting rays...
Explored the super cool Metro Parks (with Aunt Gabby),
the boys who thought that idea was horrible...and became whiny at the idea of going....now basically want to visit the park EVERYday....

The minnow catcher
The Dirty DancerThe Goof
I LOVED having Gabby here. We had just the best time doing practically nothing.
AND
She took some fabulous photos of us....
and reminded me that the instant gratification of digital is pretty wonderful.
We also got to meet RachelC and Wendy....
just SUPER sweet.
Glad to know there are some normal people in the Cleveland area...

OK, wish me luck, I have yet to find a dress for the wedding this weekend.
Seriously....
it's borderline ridiculous at this point.
Photos of the gala event next post....
or when I get the film developed,
which ever comes first.
