Welp!...summer is officially over. It was the busiest and best one yet, we made it to Truro 11 out of the 13 weekends we had available this summer. This past weekend, Labor Day Weekend, was the best weekend of the summer in terms of beach weather - ending things on a high note.
From Left to Right: Sandy, Ross, Paul, Roswelle, me, Jenny, Maddie, Rob. We used a self-time to take the picture and I actually like that we are off center just a smidge.
This past weekend we made it out to an early breakfast at my favorite spot in Provincetown.
{something was very intriguing apparently}
The girls are great early in the morning. Paul and I will be making it to a lot more brunch spots than dinner spots this Fall, which is a-ok with me.
By the end of the summer Roswelle was very used to the beach routine.
In between holding their babies up in the air, Rob and Paul played endless amounts of volleyball this Summer.

Roswelle is 5 months! She sleeps through the night 90% of the time. Her bedtime is 6:30pm on the dot. Every night we have the same routine: walk 5-5:45pm, Bottle 5:45, Bath 6pm, Books 6:15 and eyes shut no later than 6:45pm. She is becoming more interactive each week and it just keeps getting better and better. She loves to read, roll-over, scoot!!!, and she is practicing sitting up on her own (almost there!). She is still exclusively breast feeding and we are planning to introduce solids right at 6 months - I am reading up on Baby-Led Weaning (a method of introducing food) and planning to take that approach when the time is right.

It was a great summer! (thanks for posing Maddie!)
Personal update: tbt (on a Wednesday) to my cheerleading days. I'm running the Newport Half Marathon on October 12th. I'm up to 7 milessss. I guess you could say I was giving myself a little pep/cheer/dance here (after completing the run). Paul kept making fun of me for saying I needed to get amped up for my run but it is true!! It is hard to get myself out the door knowing I'll be running for over an hour instead of taking care of my baby/family. I have to continue to work on taking care of myself and I know the healthier I am, the happier(and healthier) Roswelle will be.
Sooooo long Summer. I'm welcoming Fall with open arms (in a cute sweater/scarf/boot combo). ;)
