I'M BACK!!!!!!

Oh how I have missed blogging....It does take some time to sit down, gather my thoughts and make it all happen, but when I blog, its rewarding to me! It's a way for me to reflect on what is going on in my life and capture the moment so it doesn't pass me by. The kids are now 7 and 3 and we have been having a blast this summer. We are headed to the beach next week with my parents for a little R&R. Life around me has been happening so fast, but I am trying to make an effort to live in the now.......

Now for the real test, lets see how often this blogging thing takes place!!!!

First Day of School!!

It’s hard to believe that the first week of school is already behind us!! McKenna was excited and nervous to start her year in 1st grade.  Once she walked into her class her worries were gone, sitting at her table were 3 of her friends from kindergarten (the teacher will most likely be moving them all soon).  She had a fabulous first day and is heading into this year eager to learn new things.  As for Chance, his first day in his new room at pre-school didn’t go so smooth.  As a matter of fact he cried most of the day.  As the week went on, his crying got a bit better.  He tells us each night he wants to go back to school, but still cries each am when daddy drops him off.  Here are a few photos of our first day of school. 

Summer is coming a SAD close!!

It is SO hard to believe that summer is ending.  It seems like when it all begins that we have all the time in the world.  10 weeks is a long time to most right??  Not us!!  Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t always pleasant with a 6 and 2 year old, but for the most part it was a BLAST.  They are able to play together (most of the time) and do so nicely…..

With the start of a new school year, comes schedules and alarm clocks, homework and stress.  All of which are not present during the summer.  I love schedules, but when I am the one making it…..McKenna will be in 1st grade this year, so hard to believe.  She is excited and apprehensive about starting a new year.  She has informed me that she “doesn’t care for new things”, so she would rather stay in kinder for another year…too bad it doesn’t work that way!  She is ready, I know she will have a great time in school!! 

Now that school is here I find myself counting down until the next holiday or summer time….Not that I don’t enjoy my job, it just gives me something to look forward to!!  I feel at times that my kids and their childhoods are slipping away from me and I think sometimes summer allows me to take it all in and enjoy the moment, even if its just for a short time!!!
