A Cliff's Notes Version on July & August

For those of you who depend on this site to keep up with what's up with the Baders, I offer you my apologies for this overdue post. Sitting in front of the computer has turned my stomach sour lately, so I've neglected my blogging duties. Here's a brief log of the past couple months.

Caroline painted for the first time. It started tame . . .

and ended wild.

Anna and Luke spent many a summer day pretending to be one thing or another.

Caroline turned two.


Luke spent a lot of time with his BFF, Colton.

We spent a few days with my parents in Sweetwater.
Anna caught a fish.

Ryan and I celebrated 10 years wed at my uncle's cabin. We hiked to this cool waterfall, played tennis, ate out, went to a baseball game, & saw some lovely fireworks.

We went to Six Flags and a Braves game with Ryan's little league team.

Anna and Luke started school.


Anna turned eight.


And now it's nearly September!
Our lives are busy with work. (Ryan is still the youth minister at Grandview, and I'm still teaching ballet part time, and babysitting one day per week.)
The kids are involved in their activities. Anna does ballet and choir at the arts center. She also takes piano and plays soccer. Luke does tae kwon do and basketball. Caroline just poops on the floor. She's too busy for any other activities.
