It's gone! We are starting our 3rd week of school already.
We enjoyed the time off from school, played around in the pool, organized closets and cupboards, and prepared the house for tile and trim. And because we didn't have baseboards, we decided to give our home a new look by adding some color. I asked Cor if he would paint, he said yes, and I quickly ordered the paint before he changed his mind! A sweet deal for me, for sure. Our tile is finally installed in our kitchen/breakfast nook, laundry room and the bathrooms, and new baseboards are up throughout the house. Home renovations take so much time and energy to prepare for, complete and clean up afterwards. My house is now back in order, clean, and organized. And I couldn't be happier. If you have been following our blog, you will know that Cor and I ripped up all the carpet and baseboards, in Nov 2008. So this little project has been a long time coming. Hats off to all the women out there who live in continually home reno projects.

This summer we also hosted Adventure Clubs at our place, spent a week camping at the beach, had numerous sleepovers and swim parties and trips to the zoo. Here are some pictures.

Wow I didn't realize that you had updated you blog - looks like you had a fun and busy summer! I now see Joel is Cor - I've never really seen it before! Maybe that is because Joel is starting to loose hair in the same areas on the head!
To bad that ya'll couldn't come up - are you coming at Christmas again?
Lynnette, they are so similar. Look and act alike. Christmas...we don't know. I think a visit our way is in order;)
Looks like a great summer! I can't believe it is over. I am not liking that.
Where did you get Anna Grace's floaties?? I have some for Robert, but they don't keep him above the water even though he kicks!
Miss you all!
Jen, I can't believe it's over either and you and I didn't see each other! I got the floats at Target, Speedo brand. They are great.
