August was nice and slow as we wrapped up the summer. The summer always seems to move so fast, so it takes a lot of effort to focus on making time move slowly and I think we accomplished it this year. One of our favorite summer activities has become "Christmas in July", but July was so busy that we never got to it; so of course we made up for it in August :-) We continued our homeschool through the summer, but did "promotion day" and started the new school year the second week of August. Unfortunately with the end of August came Hurricane Harvey and that turned our city upside down. It was, and continues to be, a huge part of our city as recovery continues. That was a storm I will never forget.
