O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather.
(Helen Hunt Jackson, “October’s Bright Blue Weather.”) 

Summer passed without a real blog entry, probably because I spent much of the time daydreaming about fall, and the cool weather it would bring. (There is just something about being pregnant in the heat and humidity)  Finally, Autumn is has arrived, and I feel like a new person. So, here is a recap of our summer-

St. George & swimming with the Perrys.
Poconos for the fourth.
Hot Weather, lots of swimming
It's a girl, keeping cool.
Visits from Great Grandpa Grape and the Neweys.
Lots of firsts, starting school.

Summer family photos were also few and far between, since I didn't have the energy to pull out my camera, unless I was actually "on assignment." But, here's a few-
