Courtney, Cecelia, and Cole were visiting most of the month of September. When we are together we do so much... we held our first summer camp where we just had some good old fashioned summer fun, swimming, fishing, camp fires, and tractor rides. We did a day trip to the Lehigh Valley Zoo
where we saw penguins, otters, wolves, farm animals and a skunk just to name a few of the animals. It's a great place to take smaller kiddos. We had an UNBirthday Party for Cole and Cecelia... we will not see them this year on their birthdays, but we still got to celebrate with them! As I said we were busy...
We took a lot of pictures this summer of our time together. I love to take photos! My kids always loved to take photos, I remember one year after a trip to Walt Disney World I had 20 rolls of films to get developed, we have spent so much on film developing it's kind of crazy. And of course a lot of those pictures didn't really need to get developed, but...you know how that goes a shot with most of a finger or better yet a pic looking up someones nose... That was the past of course, because now all of our photos are on our computers, tablets, phones, in the clouds... etc. Which is really nice in one way but yet on the other hand will we ever get them printed? Will they get lost? So a few years ago I started to make a photo collages with my phone pics. It is a really nice way to save our memories...

| This was a picnic we took with the tea set Chelsea got at a thrift shop in England. We were at Shikellamy State Park I love to go there, it is where the two branches of the Susquehanna River come together. It's actually a man made lake, Lake Augusta, there is always a lot of activity to watch on the water. |

| These are pictures from around the time Cole was born. A few in the hospital and Cece and Cole's first sibling photo. |
 |
| These pics are mostly from our time spent on Tybee Island, GA in May. It's funny Cece will look at those pictures and remembers that the sand dollar she found! We also went on a eco tour with Sundial Charters, Captain Renee made Cece an honorary captain, she always points the pic out and of course the one with her mommy's head in the alligators mouth! |

| This is the one I had made today of some of our memories from September. |
They are very easy to make. I went to CVS and went up to the Kodak kiosk, I had the Kodak app already downloaded on my phone. You can also use memory card or a USB. And the kiosk does the rest, there are all kinds of layouts, colors, fonts you can really spend a lot of time choosing. One 8x10 collage cost about $5.00, money well spent.
If you ever have any questions or comments feel free to leave them beneath in the comments section. I would love to hear from you. I would also like to hear how you make memories with your family and friends.
May you make sweet memories!
Kelly
