Goodbye Summer...Hello Babies!

I noticed I haven't blogged in forever.  I mean really...I only posted once in July.  My excuse?  I'm enjoying my summer, but now that's quickly coming to an end.  In six days, I'll be returning back to school.  I've been preparing myself for this since the last day of school on June 11th.  While I love setting up my bulletin boards, rearranging my desks, opening up packages of fresh pencils and paper...I really love summer.  I love sleeping in until 11 am, walking my dog 3x a day, going on vacations/mini-getaways/date-nights with my husband, pinning things on Pinterest that I may never use, and aimlessly wandering around stores such as Target and Staples.  It's amazing.

But as summer comes to an end, I think about all the wonderful things I have to look forward to this fall.  Not only will I be starting my fifth year of teaching, but also my third semester of graduate school.  I am only getting closer to the end of my Master's degree!  But the most wonderful thing I have to look forward to - my sister is going to become a mom!  My nieces will be here by the end of the month, if not sooner!  :)

So as many of you know...my sister, Kiersten, and brother-in-law, Andrew are having twin girls.  We had her baby shower at my parent's house back in June and I've been waiting anxiously to blog about it.  My extremely talented cousin, Nina, took all of these wonderful photographs that day, so I wanted to share everything from the cake to the cookies to my sister's super trendy outfit that matched the party perfectly.
