I can hardly believe it, but the summer is quickly coming to an end! All three girls start school next week, Caroline in second grade and the twins in JK. While we are all ready for school to start, this summer has been our best yet, so it is a bittersweet time. The girls have grown so much closer over the summer, and I know they will miss the hours and hours of make-believe play time they enjoyed together, the long days spent at the pool, and lots of other fun times with friends and family when next week rolls around.

| Caroline was a Devilfish on the swim team. She did an awesome job and had a great time swimming with her friends! |
 |
| Caroline's best strokes were freestyle and butterfly. |
