School is starting in less than a week and my to do list has become so long I can barely see straight - so logically I am sitting down this evening to put up some pictures. While it hasn’t been a particularly exciting month, I can say with near certainty that it has been my happiest August ever. Why, you ask? Simply because I spent it largely around home with little Miss Eila and Zoe. Adam got to enjoy the wonders of mass transit without a daycare drop and we just plain had good family time every day. A few highlights to keep me from my school work:
Shopping! It’s a good thing I work for 10 months of the year, because I tend to pass the lazy days of summer by keeping the credit card hot. This shopping cart liner, for example, was a fun thrift store find.

The first weekend of August brings a wonderful tradition to the Wilhoit home: Arts Fest in Anacortes. Oma and Opa were once again kind enough to open their beautiful home to us so we could enjoy the festivities. While the art was fun and beautiful, I think our favorite part of the trip was just hanging around the house. It didn’t hurt that it was far cooler inside than out in the sun.

The wiser Wilhoits ALWAYS treat us to the most delicious food when we escape to their home. August was no exception as they made us these mouth watering pastry morsels they learned to make while on their most recent European cruise. The Caneles de Bordeaux probably wouldn’t make a health food list, but they made everyone plenty happy.

| Eila downed as many Caneles as we’d give her to stuff into her mouth. Yum! |

| Can I haz more Caneles, please? |
Darn, I was going to have cereal for breakfast, but now I want caneles!
