August has been very eventful to say the least. The big news was traveling to South Dakota for Sarah and Edmund’s wedding (see previous pictures). Some other events that were less fun…a trip to Children’s Hospital in the middle of the night for croup with Judah (this was following a visit from the paramedics at home)…a bad diarrhea blow out at the park which was quickly followed up by a knee injury by Andy (this resulted in an evening at Tacoma General’s ER and come to find out a torn ACL)…Coleman and I getting the stomach flu on the same day…I make a valiant attempt to take up running, only to hurt both of my knees to the point of it being painful to walk (I haven’t given up totally yet)…Coleman getting bug bites which quickly turn into hives…and the night before school starts Charlie starts throwing up. This series of unfortunate events has made me want to cry and laugh all at the same time which is why it was no surprise to me at all when I took the car in today to have an emissions test and it failed. HMMM….

Enjoy a few pics of the kids
