I cannot believe August is already half over. Ben is now two months old, Madeline starts school in 2 1/2 weeks and Jon starts his job in 2 weeks and goes back to school in 3 weeks and I go back to work in 3 weeks. we have managed to do many of the things on our summer bucket list but there are some things I still want to do. I know that there are some things we just won't get to, but I am hopeful that we will manage to cross a few more things off in the next two weeks. The items in bold are ones we have done.
