Summer Vacation begins

Well that school year surely went fast didn’t it? I remember a year ago when I was sort of complaining that Karli didn’t get picked for all day Kindergarten. I wasn’t happy about her having to be home every morning when I was supposed to be working. In the end it all worked out perfectly and having her home was actually no trouble at all, in fact it was fun having the morning with her. We ate breakfast together, got ready for the day together and she chatted on and on while I worked and did my best to block her out when I had to.

Now here we are, summer vacation has begun and my baby girl is going to be in First Grade and my oldest son is going to be in High School! OMG, how did this happen? Andrew is growing up so quickly and each day I sit back and watch him turn into such a respectable young man. He has been dating his current girlfriend for a couple of months now and I was able to finally meet her the other day. I think this is like his 4th g/f this last school year so I figured she would be just like the others…it eventually dies out and they get bored with one another or whatever happens when he breaks up with them. The other day Andrew and I were having a pretty serious conversation and he said he really likes Bree more than any other girl. Yikes! Another sign of him getting older! She spent the afternoon with all of us on Friday and then went to Andrew’s baseball game and then I actually had to drive her home about 45 minutes away by myself because Andrew had to go to his dad’s afterward. She is such a sweetie and she is comfortable talking and has no problem being herself around me. Ahhh, young love.

Tomorrow starts the first official day of summer vacation. I don’t really count the weekend. I have some great things in store for the kids this summer. I will share my plans tomorrow via video most likely!
