Goodbye to Summer, 2015...

And there goes another summer of pure fun, coupled with complete exhaustion; lots of swimming & OBXing; sooooooo much whining (not from me at all!); lots of singing & dancing; too much drinking & eating;  and just loving my tribe.

I am truly blessed, although I often forget it, to be home with my kiddos every single summer....

-Summer 2015 Round-Up-

Viviene Lyn graduated Kindergarten to start off our summer! She is my complete mini me and drives me batty, but she is the glue that holds this whole family together and is filled with so. much. love. She makes me proud every single day. XO

Lil & Viv just loved lacrosse camp... they would certainly complain here and there, but I could see how happy they were to hang out with the big girls for a whole week, all day long... they learned a TON & I was super proud :)

TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT + Viv's FIRST concert! We had an absolute blast with Aunt Leesa & Riley... the concert was AMAZING :) 

FOURTH OF JULY :) - we had a fun BBQ with some of our favorites!

OBX - 2015... We had an awesome 2 weeks with Nana & company in the Outer Banks for our second annual vacation :)  It is so wonderful to have 2 uninterrupted weeks as a family and be lucky enough to spend it in a beautiful home right on the beach with a gorgeous pool & hot tub... every day was spent beaching and pooling and eating and laughing! Almost every night, Joe and I would make drinks and hop in the hot tub to just relax and unwind :)




Brielle - our sweet Breeski underwent brain surgery to SUCCESSFULLY remove her brain tumor.... GOD. IS. GOOD.  XO



Liliana got her SECOND hole pierced with Nana :) 

She really should STOP. GROWING. UP... Like NOW :) 

Philly Fun Day - we ended the summer with the big girls by taking the train into the city and going to see the Lego Exhibit at the Franklin Institute :) We ended the day at Max Brenner's for a super yummy, chocolatey meal! So much fun :) 

That is it :) I am gonna miss these kiddos hard each day.  I am excited (trying here, lol) for Fall because that means I get to start my holiday decorating and Halloween is my second favorite after Valentine's Day :) 

XO
