Lifes A Beach 06/24/2009

Summer has begun, and I've been such a mix of emotion, from "I can't believe Stink is already done with kindergarten" to "I can't believe little Pip is starting kindergarten" to "I am so grateful my mom is feeling better again" to "I'm so grateful for Rex and my work and my home" to "OH MY GOD ALL SUMMER WITH THE KIDS!"

But the most overriding feeling I've had has been of gratitude. Life is changing so fast, I'm so lucky to have the one that I do, and I'm going to soak up the good times as long as I can with everything I have in me.

Until I post again, I hope you do the same.

* Photo taken on our first day of vacation at the beach last week. My mom came with us. Sand, homemade sandwiches, water in a jug from 1985. Decent. Seeing my mom do this crab crawl back up the stairs? Priceless. (Really, she's fine. And it was funny. Ask her yourself.)

Enjoy. I'm not in love with the transition times at the beginning and ending of summer, but it's summer--can't be all that bad. :) So fab that your mom is doing well and that you're loving the ones you're with. Blessings.

I think I had the same breakdown about all summer with the kids here, only it was about four hours earlier than yours. Y'know, because of the time difference and all.

Hang in there! You're making memories for your kids. And they will someday take thier kids to the beach with water in a jug from 1985. You'll see!
