As we close in on another summer, we are very thankful for our health, friendships, loving family, and each other. We had a great summer with a full list of activities. Swimming everyday, traveling to Iowa, weddings, and lounging around home. Lucy has been a big help with her brothers and has enjoyed shopping and spending time with grandma. Lincoln lost his first baby tooth and was SO VERY proud. He got a Darth Vader mask and wears it everywhere. And little Noah is all potty trained. What an accomplishment. He loves to imitate his big brother and catches on so fast. We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is getting into the school mode!!! We are TRYING here. School will start on August 27 and Lucy will be in 3rd, Lincoln will be in 1st, and Noah will stay with mommy:) Hugs to all and we miss you! Love, the Novotny Crew
