Summer is coming to a close, we're putting a cover on the pool, packing our backpacks, and prepping for the football season. Wow. In the last six weeks, we have experienced so much fun together, and I can't be more thankful to have had the chance to transition with the kids.
As we enter into the final week of my time away from a full-time career, I have to smile when I see these pictures. It's been an awesome summer!
The kids have really become strong swimmers. They started with life jackets, afraid of being splashed, and now I witness them swim across the pool -- under water! -- with goggles and no life jacket! It's sure made me jump out of my chair more than a couple times!!
We made it out to one Kernels game, since we we've been back. It was a hot one, but the kids got a picture with Shucks, so it made it all worth it!
Miss Ella Bella (our little cousin) came to play with us one afternoon ... we rode bikes, went on wagon rides, washed the car (and every bike we could find in the garage!), took turns swinging, swam in the pool, and ate lots of yummy snacks together!
Then we were lucky enough to have our friends from Davenport come visit! They just relocated to the CR area too, and we are so excited to spend more time with Chase and Ella!
One of my most memorable moments from the last few weeks as been the musical talent shows that the kiddos have been performing. It's hysterical to watch Cade get so ingrained in the guitar. I'm sure it won't be long until the little dude will be wanting lessons! And Little Lou Lou... if she isn't the center of attention! Although she knows plenty of songs, she seems to sing nonsense each time. Check it out!
She might need to work a little on her footwork, though!
And to think that these pictures lead us to today. To the first week of school. Cade is in kindergarten now, and he's already asking if he can ride his bike to school. So much for the tough transition. He's been a champ. Mom on the other hand... it's tough. I think back to him being only 5 lbs, laying in the palm of my hand, crying with hope that he'd be okay. Now, look at him. Ready for all the amazing adventures ahead of him. He'll be amazing in this new chapter.
