Gone in the Blink of an Eye

I'm feeling pretty nostalgic tonight so bare that in mind....

Where did our Summer go? The Brackel Bunch managed to get in a few great memories and adventures and for that I'm grateful! I love all things fall but with less than three weeks left until school starts I find myself cursing the tree in my front yard whose leaves have started to change...... Here are some highlights from the Summer fun reel:

Sean had a BLAST on his trip to Australia, he experienced so many new things and enjoyed 18 days in the Outback!

Despite what Sean might believe, the rest of us certainly didn't mope around the house without him! Dad was at work so the littles and I enjoyed some mini adventures of our own!

Fun with Aunt Jen at Robert Treeman State Park

Snuggling.... The best quality time :)

Movies with Aunt Susan

Beach time at Atlantic City

While looking through these photos I've smiled & laughed at the goofy memories each picture reminds me of... the giggles, the jokes, the learning and the friendships. we packed a lot of fun in 18 days and it was perfect, while my fab 4 wasn't complete, my terrific 3 and at times tiny 2 were pretty awesome, I love spending time with them each individually and in their group dynamics. This was 18 days worth of Summer we had many other adventures and wonderful memories :)  while it is hard for me to know my babies will never be this old again, they'll never have this Summer to relive again, I hope as they grow up they look back on Summer 2013 and laugh a little, smile a lot and remember how much love we shared this summer.

Hope you liked our memories-
