Our Last Summer Hoorah: Beaches & Weddings

We have dragged out our summer life of un-structure as long as possible, flitting here and there, enjoying friends and family, celebrating my brother's wedding, a last trip to the beach (which is how we started our summer, too!) Today we are home. It is calm and quiet, and I feel ready for a rhythm, winding down for fall, and finding peace.

Snapshots of our latest travels:

My new sister-in-law was a beautiful bride:

We will almost share the same name and we have the same initials. I just have an additional "-ine".

The ladies of my family: My mom, Gram, Carol, Grandmother, and me (and Dmitri of course)

I'm sure there will be more photos to come. As for now, I'm home and on a cleaning rampage. Going to go finish scrubbing the bathroom grout that I've always thought was supposed to be dark brown...
