Summer sped by so quickly, I barely saw it coming or going. Autumn is in full swing here, though the temps have been very summer-like. Tomorrow is supposed to cool, thankfully!
Some summer highlights:
Our little Jasper-Pie learned to ride a bike!
Rissi now wears glasses. Sometimes. Not always. But doesn't she look beautiful?
Summer, who has been taking karate classes for the last couple of years, was one of two lucky "Little Dragon's" who had their name chosen to attend a seminar by Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. Don't know who that is? I didn't either.
Here's some "Superfoot" trivia: GO HERE to read about his life as Elvis Presley's bodyguard and personal trainer! He had many accomplishments including A Force of One with Chuck Norris. GO HERE if you are interested in finding out more.
The opportunity to attend was awesome. Summer's face says it all.
Jake is killing it on the soccer field! The boy has the moves and he sure can run!
Meanwhile, in NJ these two cuties (Grey and Si) bless us through FaceTime video and pictures.
It's been a good summer for us, and reflecting on it brings a smile.
Dear Diary,
Not such a great summer for myself, tho things are looking up now. I hurt my knee pre-summer. Yea. Bummers-ville. Six weeks later, we worked it through and I was good as new, jumping and running and well... you get the picture. Dad and Mom went on vacation and I stayed and took care of my aunt Angie. Yea. It was great tho. She spoiled me just a little. Well. Okay, a lot. Upon Mom and Dad's return, I was pretty excited, So - I said to Dad, let's play! And we did. And I hurt my knee again. I've never quite come back from that and I walk with a limp a lot. I was jumping for a while but now I find it easier to just let Mom and Dad pick me up for bed or to put me on the couch. Oh, and another thing. I can't walk like I used to. I get tired. It's depressing, this getting old thing. Yea. I turned 15 last month.
Mom and Dad surprised me with my own wheels so we will see how that all goes. So far, so good... but we haven't left the house yet.
Keep your nose a smellin' the great smells of fall y'all and I'll keep ya informed as to how my new ride pans out. Bye for now. Gracie.
Those set of wheels look great, Gracie! I hope you get a chance to try them out soon! Seems like the rest of the crew had a great summer! So many fun activities they did and so many adventures! Can't believe it is fall already!

Great pictures of the grandkids. Rissi is gorgeous with her glasses! What a thrill for Summer! Poor Gracie, I do not remember about the second injury. Well, she could not have a better Mom & Dad to grow old with.
