Summer's over . . .

Josh officially started work on Tuesday. That means that September is here. Summer is over. It's been nice to have the month of August to relax inside where it's nice and cool. But we didn't just hide insde all day. We also had fun discovering the parks in our area in the evenings when it cooled off a little . . .

Ainslie liked to pick dandelions.

Some friends here in our new ward were nice enough to give us their old slide, and Ainslie has had lots of fun climbing and playing in our backyard.


Ainslie wasn't the only one playing around here. Josh decided to give growing a beard a shot. Things were looking pretty good until he decided to give the trucker look a try. That didn't stick around long.


In anticipation of Josh's new work schedule we decided that it was finally time to buy a second car. Ainslie was excited to help Josh put the plates on the new car.

It's been a great summer, but we're ready to move on to new things. He's only a few days into it, but work is going well for Josh. He likes the people that he's working with, and although it's challenging, the work is interesting. Janae and Ainslie are having fun at home, learning new things and playing together. We'll miss the carefree days of August, but we've still got it pretty good.
