Way too long!!!

I know, i know...Once again, I got overwhelmed by the summer....I have to catch up though, or this will go on forever!  I promise to be better!  So the last post was memorial day.  Which means i missed so much!  Katie's First Dance recital, finshing PreK, another ladies trip to the Villages, Family trip to Crayola Factory and Dutch Wonderland...and the beginning of Kindergarten!  Not too mention, birthday parties and babrbecues form the summer, and Katie is now in Girl Scout Daisy's, Cheerleading and dance again...this time taking tap and ballet!

She's getting bigger and smarter by the minute it feels like sometimes, and I can't believe my baby is going to be 5 in about 6 weeks!  Which means this blog was started just about 5 years ago!  Which brings me to another reason I've neglected this blog.... Katie is going to be a big sister!!!!  We found out the end of May that a new baby would be joining our family in Late January or early February!  We've since found out that it's going to be another little girl and are so excited!

So here are some highlights from the summer....warning, this post is going to be picture heavy!
