End of Summer!

We have had a crazy last month of summer vacation. We went down to Atlanta to visit Ryan's sister and her family. It is a 8+ hour car ride and we were very nervous about the girls...but they did much better than expected. We had a great trip and the girls had a blast playing with their cousins. The best part of the trip was going to six flags! We got flash passes and got to skip the 2 hour line and hop right on the ride. "It was the best amusement park day ever in my life!!" according to Ryan.



When we got back we celebrated my 30th birthday with a surprise trip to Chicago. I am in love with Chicago and could not think of a better way to celebrate my birthday! We saw Blue Man Group-they were awesome! Of course, when we got back we all ended up with the flu, which took us about a week to recover from :(. I was bummed I was sick and had to cancel the fun day my 3 oldest (time wise, not age) BFF's had planned for me. We will make it up soon though.

Ryan is back to work now, which always comes with mixed emotions for me. I am always ready for the house to get back into its normal routine. It always takes me a couple of weeks to get used to having the girls all by myself again. Although this school year will be so different because Abby is now a big kindergartner :(.
