Summer Daze

















This summer has flown by!! We have been spending our days at the water park and at the kids art studio. Swimming with friends and taking road trips. Only one month before school starts. Target has all the back to school stuff out and it is screaming that we are about to go back to the hustle and bustle of school. This school year is a special year because Hunter will be entering Kindergarten this year. I am so excited for him, but at the same time I am so sad for myself. I want to keep my kids close to me at all times and feel so vulnerable when they are out in the world and I am not there with them.

So, lets talk about Hunter... he is (if I do say so myself) the most beautiful boy. He has huge blue/green eyes and a smile that melts anyone in its path. He just tested for his orange belt in Karate, (after only going for a little over a year) and is looking forward to playing soccer this year. When Hunter gets into trouble, which is not very often, he fights tears with everything he's got. It seems to be such a man thing to do. It is the saddest thing I have ever seen. Which makes it extremely hard to discipline him. That being said he is not a bratty kid at all. Everyone who has ever met him, loves him. And so do I more than anything in the world. He will enter Kindergarten ready for the challenge. He is so smart and fun and will grow up too quickly. I miss him already.
