Summer Update #2

The last part of our summer is coming to an end. It's definitely bittersweet. It has been a good time having the whole family home all summer long, but we are all ready to resume back to our "normal".

Chris, after being off for 10 weeks, will be going back to work. He's excited, I'm excited, and everyone is thankful!
Shaylin will start second grade next Monday, the 15th. She wasn't to hip on the thought at first, but as the day gets closer she has gotten into the right frame of mind and she can't hardly wait anymore!
Elijah. . . well, he is adjusting. Daddy's going back to work, Shay's starting school, and all he can say is "it's not fair that I have to wait two more weeks." I guess to him Labor Day seems so far away. However, that is when he will be starting his last year of pre-k. He is super excited to go back and see all of his friends too.
As for me, I should have a full load of kiddos to corral this fall. I'm excited. I'd much rather keep a house full as compared to a kid or two. It makes the day go by much faster. Not to mention it pays better. : )

Even though its almost over, we have had a fantastic summer -everything considered. Since I posted the mid summer update Shay went to art camp with her friend Chara, our family went on a mini vacation, and we have done more swimming than any summer past! (At least it seems that way!)  I'd say it was a success!!

Fall is just around the corner. . . . BRING IT ON!!
