What a fun spring we had! How is it already summer. A few more days left of school, and then 83 days of summer. I'm equally scared and excited. We have lots of fun travels that we'll document throughout the summer, and the kids are in a few different camps. I look forward to lazy mornings without the hustle and bustle of getting out the door, but I'm not looking forward to the kids bickering from spending too much time together.
Clanceys visit Austin! Olivia an Eleanor eating dinner.
A trip to Gemelli to show off our favorite gelato.
