| Trampolines are summer-essential. |

| This lady is stop-at-nothing awesome. She sat in the 100 degree summer sun blowing her precious air into this elephant slide for about 20 mins. Talk about sacrificial love! |

| "See Jesse! It's okay to smear white heavily perfumed stuff all over yourself. Mommy does it!" This is what I mean. Sacrificial Mama love. |

| Elia went bonkers and was charmingly hilarious about it. |

| He reminds me of someone out of Dr. Seuss, someone whimsical and happy. |

| Cream station. I still have six cans unopened. Let me know if you'd like to host your own shaving-cream party or if you're running low on Barbasol. |

| The kids got quite a kick out of it... |

What a summer it has been. June was pleasant. July was AWESOME. August was, erm, challenging.
But all summer was full of adventure, and that's what I was truly hoping for. As a result, we have a clearer sense of our identity as a family. We know each other a little better. We are stronger and more adaptable than I supposed. I am full of hope that our big 'ol family is going to bless this world in ways that no one else's can.
Go V-Force!!!

Looks like a blast! Such cute pics.
That slide was totally worth it! Thanks for the great idea, I love puntuating the ends of seasons with a special hurrah, let's keep doing it.
I love hosting, seriously my mom was just telling me how I used to make a toy buffet for guests who came to play when I was really young. It's just one of those things. Whoop shaving cream mohawk.
