We've tried really, really hard to keep this summer as normal as possible for the older boys. That's not always easy with a newborn in tow. Some days were definitely more successful than others!
I think we've done a fair job though, we've been to the beach, we've been for little hikes, we've been to the park and out to eat.
And last week we spent the week in the Adirondacks - something we've done for the last 2 summers now and probably will for many more to come.
We were able to take Andrew on his first (small) mountain hike and even to Enchanted Forest.
Of course since then, I've spent several days doing nothing but nursing (and a little bit of pulling my hair out!) So you take what you can, when you can (and hope that maybe you can even get some canning in!)
And the days that we did nothing at all? I think the kids are ok with it.
yes, i know his straps are loose!
It's been interesting finding our new normal this summer, and I'm looking forward to seeing what winter brings!
