Our July was…well…eventful, you could say. July kicked off midway into our week in Hilton Head with my parents and my sister’s family (and also included my 1000th Instagram post—yes, I am out of control :) ). After we returned from HHI, the kids participated in a triathlon in which Jack won a medal, placing 3rd in his age group, and Ella placed 7th in hers. Jonathan was on a relay team with neighborhood friends in a triathlon—he was the runner on Team SCRappy—, tripped at the finish line on the chip timing mat, and fractured his tibial plateau in two places. He was on crutches for the rest of July…as well as all of August and a bit into September… Both kids went to a week of sleep-away camp for the first time and we had a great visit from Aunt Chrissy, Uncle Chris, Jacob, Noah, and Emilee.
