Eclipse
Brian and I hung out on the driveway and watched the eclipse. It was a nice evening, and I thoroughly enjoyed gazing up at the sky with our camera. Happy Anniversary Brian!

The girls both have tents, and we have talked about camping for quite a while. We never had the time to do it though. Before the fall got too crazy, there was a cold snap that hit our area.

Right as school was starting, Brian and I took it upon ourselves to do one final project on the house before we got too crazy into the fall.

There is a certain 4 year old at our house who is obsessed with Rapunzel. It started when she was about 3 and has been going strong since. Nothing is off limits, but currently, we have an abundant supply of dolls. She loves them. I remember when Samantha had a Lightning McQueen obsession at around the same age. Hers …
