Wow! The whole summer has gone by and I am just getting around to posting a new entry! We have had a busy summer this year ~ and when I say busy, I mean lots of swimming, staying up late watching movies, games, beach days, etc! We have enjoyed the company of each other, but I swear my kids have a sensor that they flip the week to 2 weeks before school starts that makes me ready to see the summer end! They start to get on each others nerves, they start to get on my nerves and I believe they even start to get on their own nerves!!! As much as I hate to see the summer end, I know that they are getting anxious for this new school year to begin. As I sit here typing out this blog, we still don't know what is going to happen with Zachary and his schooling. It is a possibility that I will be homeschooling him for his Kindergarten year. We have put it all in the hands of our Father and know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that what is best for Zachary and our family is going to be the outcome. I slept last night wrapped up in blankets of peace and it felt good!!
I sat the other day thinking about this summer and I could do nothing but smile! We started off the summer making a list of all of the things we wanted to do. The list included a pillow fight, catch lightning bugs, swim, stay in a hotel, the beach, Lake Erie, a boat ride and more. I wanted them to list the things they wanted to do and then we spent the summer working on crossing those things off one by one! We still have a few things that are unchecked, but we accomplished many of those things and we enjoyed every minute doing so! I am going to miss the carefree days we shared during the summer, but I am also looking forward to a routine! I am so thankful for the family that I have been blessed with...those in this house and those that live in other states!
Our Summer in a Nutshell...
