Well, summer ended what, a month ago? I've been a little busy to update. Summer went by quickly. We had to adapt quite a bit due to Jeremiah's mobility issues, but we made due and still had a great summer. The kids had their weeks with their paternal grandparents and their weekends with their maternal grandparents. Sleepovers and "play dates". Movie nights. Sunsets at the beach. And, a lot of "real world learning", I called it. They are on their own quite a bit these days, so I've been teaching them new recipes to cook when they have to make dinner and adding some new chores to their routine. They are handling this new freedom in stride, much like all the other changes they've had to deal with in their lives. If we've done anything right in this parenting gig of ours, it's raising kids who are readily adaptable and can go with the flow when necessary.
Here are some photos from what was left of our summer.

Now, we embrace Fall -- the leaves changing, the soup weather, wearing sweaters and early sunsets. And, I will be making the transition from day shift to night shift come October. Let's do this!
