And so we begin

It's been a long short summer. Got nothing on my to do list done but I did manage to enjoy some time fun with the kids.

Last summer I opened a soap store that kept me busy 24/7, which means the kids spent alot of time with me at the store playing which isn't totally a bad thing. My store is located in a beautiful restored 100 year old hotel called the Castle Inn located Delaware Water Gap, PA.

Sometimes I imagine the conversations and drama that must have taken place in that building almost a 100 years ago.

Anywhoo that's just me.
This summer I made sure to take time out so the kids could have fun. We spent 6 days in Disney World in Orlando, FL. Actually we went for my first family reunion in 30 years and had a wonderful time.

stood in line for almost an hour for this shot..... It was the only character picture we took.

My mother- Rolanda, my youngest sister Petra, me, and my middle sister Vicki... we had a great time together

They didn't think we were watching. :)

Earlier this month we got to hang out in one of our favorite places...Central Park...the kids love rock climbing.

So now school begins on Monday, schedule change, weather changes and as if I don't have enough on my plate meet the new addition to our family Genji Latte

Sounds like a stripper doesn't it but she got the name because she looks like ginger and latte coffee.

So we begin a new school year with a new puppy that guess who will be taking care of and with new and more after school activities... yikes!!!! that reminds me I have to go and get my daughter her clarinet.....uuugghhhhh.

Where did the summer go?
