Once again I see that I haven't posted anything for a while, so its time for a new one and one with pictures!
My last post came close to the end of my first year of Grad School, stress levels were high and summer couldn't come soon enough. Now I'm looking ahead to another school year. I'm expecting this to be a challenging year since in 9 months time I will be graduating with a Master's degree and preparing for yet another new adventure.
The kids will be heading into 4th and 2nd grades this year, which on one hand makes me feel old but on the other very appreciative that my children are coming into their own and becoming interested in the world around them. They are at good ages. I'm still sad that my little babies are gone, I get significantly less snuggles now and I'm sure this school year will bring more "Moooomm, I don't want to hold your hand!" or "Can you please not kiss/hug me in front of my friends." Seems like every age you lose something you cherished about your kids (i.e. snuggle time, baby giggles, general smallness) but gain something new (i.e. conversations, curious-awake minds, greater ability). Just like my own aging process I try to remember to enjoy each age, each stage as it comes and not rush through it. But, before this becomes a sad and sappy post about times long gone lets focus on the present and the present is SUMMERTIME!
