Random Summer Photos

I'm still playing catch-up with many photos and updates from our summer, many of which included Kaitlynn wearing a baseball cap and (fake) glasses. It all started with a fun girls night out with Julie and Lily where the girls enjoyed buying new accessories. The hat/glasses phase continued for several weeks before it ran its course.

One of the perks of moving back to Texas was the friendly neighborhood coupons we received in the mail for various restaurants and other merchants. With our $20 coupon for Outback Steakhouse, it was no surprise who I decided to take out for a lunch steak one day. Happy boy!

We spent a lot of time at the Aasmyrs' home this summer, including play dates and pet-sitting. Connor and Kaitlynn never miss an opportunity to play at the Aasmyr zoo, ha!

Since we had a lot of free time on our hands in the summer, I spent one morning teaching the kids how to properly clean the house, including the bathrooms and toilets. What fun, ha!

My friends in Dubai posted pics on social media showing how the Emiratis recognized our Independence Day on July 4th. So cool!

In our summer boredom, Jeff and the kids started playing Scrabble to pass the time on slow evenings. One morning I woke up to a sweet Scrabble message and couldn't resist snapping a photo. Awe!
