Just Around the Corner

As the end of August approaches, we're staring down the barrel of the end of summer in the Hepper household! Just one more week until school starts (Praise Jesus, Hallelujah!) and we are ready!! Caroline is so jazzed about going to school 4 days a week this year and cannot wait to see her "last year" school friends and make a few new ones as well. Julia and Margaret may not realize that their school year is about to begin as well, but I'm excited enough about it for both of them, so it's all good. 

We've been spending our last couple weeks of summer vacation doing all the things we do best: playing dress-up, dancing, visiting with friends, swimming, doing lots of artwork, playing outside and going to birthday parties (I swear almost every last one of our friends was born in August).

 I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a fair amount of whining, temper tantrums, and TV watching also going on in our house right now as we are tapped out on camps and the end-of-summer doldrums are firmly taking hold. :) Come on, September, get here soon!

Check out what we've been up to...

This video makes me laugh every time I watch it. It was supposed to be just of Margaret "walking" Isabel. But poor Frances is unexpectedly forced to make an appearance too...

A rare moment when all three girls are occupying the same space and no one is crying. (J, M, C)

What a beautiful princess!

Note to self: do not leave Julia unattended while the shower is on and the door open...

Margaret pleased as punch to be riding solo in the wagon.
