First Day

Seems like only yesterday we were here. Wrapping up a school year and ready to start our summer.  Now we are wrapping up summer and ready to start another school year.  I must say, this has been one of the best summers we have ever had.  We were intentional about our fun, our time together, and our time alone. We took things slow and simple.  My favorite way to be.  The girls spent very little time with friends (not that friends are a bad thing) and much more time together...being sisters...being bored...being kids and being happy.


I am sad that the carefree days of summer are coming to an end.  But it's time.  Routines are being craved and new things are ready to be learned.  We are all off on a new adventure.  I am returning to the "super simple all consuming" days with just a toddler at home...Riley is heading to a new school with lots of unknowns and Janey is starting full day first grade with lunch in the cafeteria!:)  But we are ready!


Good-bye summer!
Thanks for the good times!
See you soon....

Our first day of school started with these.  They smell so delicious baking and taste even better. Best blueberry muffins I.have.ever.had!  {Of course I left the blueberries out of three of them for Janey}. Thanks Amy for the inspiration.

Today was just a short day at school.  I am sure tomorrow it will all start to sink in.  It will sink in that my sweet little angels will be spending  more awake hours with someone else other then me.  It will sink in that they are growing up so fast and I wish I could slow down time just. for. an. instant.  It will sink in that before I know it, I will be dropping Aubrey off at kindergarten. I know I will miss them terribly but I honestly hope they don't miss me...all that much.  I love you dearly girls and I know you are going to have a wonderful school year.
