End of August

Not sure how the last summer month slipped by, but it did.  Here are a few pictures from the last days of August.

I enjoyed a girl's night out with Cora and Amanda, and Amanda's sister in law, Melissa.  We went to the new restaurant La Jolla Groves.  It was so good.  I keep craving it and trying to think of a way to go again.  It was delicious, and the presentation was so pretty.  We had a great dinner and then walked around to some of the shops.  I felt like a new person by the end of it.  It's amazing what some time without the chaos can do for your appreciation of it.  I feel more like myself in general now.  The girls are still crazy, but they have moments of playing together (like now!), and I see glimpses of peace in my future!

I was walking all over the house looking for Matisyn.  I even went outside calling her name.  I was starting to get worried when I wandered outside for one more attempt to find her in the backyard.  I found her asleep, sweating in the sun, in the baby swing.  So precious!
