Oh my, it has been so, so long! I have been wanting to sit down and write several times but I haven't made the time, too much fun being had around here! What an awesome summer we have had. We have played so hard for so long, the 80 degree days have been flowing like a river, they've just kept coming!
Today was a bit rainy and we desperately needed a day at home. We baked bread, read books, did puzzles and the littlest among us put herself to bed before 7pm and promptly fell asleep. As I write this, my little guy is comfortably engrossed in a book and will be making his way up to bed shortly.
So, let's see, what's new. Well, not much since the big thing that I can think of is that I painted the porch floor and front door but that was at the beginning of the summer (and I must admit they are super charming!) .... it's such a luxury to say nothing is new! We are all gearing up for the schedule to start up again this fall and we are welcome to the idea. Not thrilled but it sounds comfortable. Good things are on the books for fall; both Ben and Amelia are excited about school, David's business has been exciting and I am looking forward to getting back to teaching and working at the college. Ben has soccer and Amelia dance - good things all around. Just life and that's so great!
We are actually feeling like we are back on our feet and are looking forward to making some plans for the next year. Healing has been a very interesting process - I never would have expected all of these emotions. We have realized that we have been so engrossed with the daily grind that we haven't even thought about where we're heading and where we want to go. Discussions are happening and the concept is exciting!
