As always happens, this summer has flown by, and this year I had the added mom-guilt of trying to squeeze in enough family time before our eldest headed off to college. We managed to go to the "big wave beach" in Rhode Island as one last family event before JP left. It was a cloudy day, but fun, nonetheless!
On JP's last day of work at the ice cream store, we went to visit him. This shop was such a great summer job for him (and Andrew). He made lots of tip money that paid for his portion of his first semester of college, and the owner and manager were so so nice to him. The owner shook my hand on JP's last day to thank me for raising good kids, which made me tear up. I hope all of my kids work here for a very long time!
