{what a summer~}

the summer is coming to an end, and it is definitely bittersweet. With my kids at such great ages, it has been a fun filled summer that has gone by so fast. Don't get me wrong, i do love the fall--the crisp air, changing leaves, pumpkin treats, and yummy fall attire! {not to mention a little scrumptious babe that will make her appearance this fall~}......... but my caleb will be starting kindergarten on WED; and i get so emotional thinking about it! he is my buddy, and i will miss him something terrible! I guess there is this thought too that it is the beginning of him really starting to grow up.....which makes me sad! It makes me think of the ABBA song--"slipping through my fingers all the time"... {which by the way seriously gets the waterworks flowing!} because it's so true! it's amazing how fast these babies grow! I have no doubt that Caleb will do amazing in kindergarten. i just feel so lucky to be their mom; and to be able to watch them in all their many adventures ahead~

Ah Caleb.... I still remember him looking up at us in the elevator at the hospital just minutes after being born. Such a sweet little thing from day one. I sure love him. Now you are getting me a little teary eyed...

He will do so great in kindy... he's such an outgoing cute kid. He's going to be everyone's favorite friend. Love you Caleb! =)

Oh honey...I've sooo been there...the very first day of kindergarten...two years ago...and I had to wear sunglasses in because I was crying so hard. (My hubs was embarrassed, but was so sweet.) I cried for 8 days...after I dropped her off...the tears came. She had a wonderful time and loved it...still does! We miss our little people...sending them off into the world...but it all works out...and trust me...C will be the best dressed, most handsome little guy...that scores big points with the teachers! Ha!

I am terrified of my lil' kiddos starting school. But I guess that's still a few years down the road.

Sheesh, I don't turn on the computer for a few days and look at all of the fun I've missed...
-Love Kendra's pictures-she's adorable and her family is so cute.
-I love how that yellow purse is almost as big as your daughter-oh, how the girls suffer for their fashions!
-Those pics with G-ma are so adorable. Treasures for sure.
-So excited to see some pics of your house. Cute stuff. Love the orange colander.

You did point out a few nice things about fall but.... fall reminds me too much of ugly, cold winter that is just around the corner. I think I would like fall a lot more if it was fallowed by spring. :)
