Summer Flashback

This weekend, Jack came down to visit....just him.   He brought treats and activities for the girls, we played games, went for a hike...it was such a treat to have him come!

Doing the activity Jack brought...making candy necklaces

Ready to eat!

Having him here made me think of his visits in the summer, which led me to realize that I never posted pictures about Olivia and Madeline's visit this summer!  So now that the cooler weather is starting to set in, here is a little flashback to the warmer days of summer!

Olivia and Madeline came to stay with us the first week of August, right before they headed back to school.  I have said this before, but I love when my sisters come!  We do lots of girly things together; like crafts, baking, shopping and we watch movies and play lots of games (which I LOVE!).  They even came to a work out class with me while they were here!  They were going to help with Rose's birthday party that week, but with the girls getting sick, they unfortunately had to miss out.

Madeline excited about all the jewelry she made

We also had a special visitor that week,
the Blessed Virgin Mary!

Girls night out!  We went shopping and to Tevana
to try some new tea...SO good!
