Farewell Summer

We had a rainy summer in Albany this year. All the tomatoes died and it was the rainiest and coldest month in the region's history! Despite all of theat we made the most of what we had. Grandma came which was really great. The end of August and the first of September brought some nice days, all of which are highlighted below. We went back to Seneca lake which kind of brought things full circle. Becky worked this summer as a lactation consultant and I (John) taught reading classes to kids. It was a full summer, I also made some headway with my research so we hope next years the stars will align for us to go to Guatemala. In the mean time we will enjoy the beautiful fall here and get ready for the long winter hibernation that we have become accostomed to.

I learned to sail with my friend Joe over Labor Day weekend which was pretty fun.

Here's Becky with out little boy, Levi has gained a few pounds over the summer, he's one cub who will be ready for hibernation!


Here I turned 31, hard to believe I am this old! I guess being in college (going on 8 years now) makes it seem unreal. Becky made me a nice Key Lime pie which is traditional, the pie was delicious!

Lucy at the water works near our house, she didn't get as close as last year, she is more cautious than she was.

So we hope you all had a fun summer too! Come see us some time, the fall here is super nice, we can take you apple picking.
