While the calendar may mark the beginning of summer as June 21, anyone with children or involved in academics knows that summer actually starts when the spring semester ends.  Graduation fell on Ian’s birthday this year, allowing Ian’s birthday to kick off our family’s summer.  Our lives have been absolutely chaotic ever since!

After Ian’s birthday, our good friend Savannah took his one year pix, then I left for an NCAA conference in Denver, Brinn and Ian went to visit Ian’s North Carolina grandparents and did some trout fishing on the Linville River, then Brinn and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary, we took another trip so that I could attend an athletic advisors’ conference in Jacksonville, and now we’re FINALLY home, just in time for more big events and travel in our lives.  Whew!

So I’m woefully behind in keeping our loved ones updated on our eventful lives, but I will try better later this week or next week.  In the meantime, here are some of our favorite pictures of Ian!
