Wow, how can it be Sept 7th already???
Today I sent my little preemie off on the bus for her 1st day of kindergarten. She was so thrilled! I had already shed my tears earlier in the summer when she leapt onto her summer camp bus with all the older kids- my little brave one, with her purple glasses barely able to see me out the bus window. She needed help getting up the bus steps because her backpack was so heavy. Looking at me she signed "I love you" and waved, and I just lost it. How did I get so lucky to have her?? How did I raise a little tiny 5 year old person who just marches up on a bus full of 10-12 year old boys to go to full day summer camp without looking back at mom??? She amazes me. I am so proud of her courage and love of new adventures. So today for kindergarten she is more than ready, and know she will do great.
We had a wonderful summer, full of fun adventures. The 4th of July trip to CT was wonderful. So fun to see all the cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and spend some great time playing at the beach, and eating lobster. We had a fun visit from my best friend Ann Marie and her baby Nora. We had a lot of fun time at the cabin. Emma really morphed into a mermaid this summer and is now spending more time doing handstands, jumping off the dock and generally under the water that above it. Abby too is a real fish and very brave. They love wearing goggles and diving under to see what they can find in the lake. We did a lot of biking, berry picking, and ended the summer with a tent camping adventure.
Now that fall is here, we will be busy with school, preschool, Emma's fall soccer, and Abby's gymnastics. Fall is my absolutely favorite time of year and I can't wait to pull out the sweaters and jeans. Here are some pics of the summer and 1st day of school!
