Oh, Summer, How You Are Flying By

I'm pretty sure I recently blogged that time is going by really quickly. I think I say that frequently. I checked my blog today and realized I hadn't posted anything in some time. I think that's because I've met myself coming and going. Travel has been a big part of our June and July. We've had some great events going on in the Holmes' house. I've pulled some photos to highlight the last few weeks. 

Katherine's book came out in paperback

(I have copies for $10 each! Autographed!)

Pa taught Abigail and Rebecca to shoot a gun.

Becca turned around only a few days later and killed a squirrel!

I went to Wichita, Kansas with Jeff on a business trip. We saw this beautiful park statue, "Keeper of the Plains."

The entire family went to the Peach Festival in Weatherford. Katherine and Abigail had both entered artwork in the contest. Awards handed out:

Katherine - "Best in Show"

Abigail - 1st Place in 10-12 Grade

Katherine - 1st Place in Oil on Canvas

I took Abigail and two friends to the One Direction store in Dallas.

(Note: This is a big deal.)

I made these chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream for someone's birthday. How sad is it that I cannot remember who that was?  Oh dear...

 We are still harvesting cherry tomatoes from the garden. And, the occasional zucchini.

And, that's a little glimpse of our summer so far. Up next...Hawaii!!! Come back in a few days and I'll have my slide show ready.
