New schools. New jobs. New projects. New responsibilities. New budget. New outlook. New season.
Autumn, I was looking forward to your cool. Why'd you go and get so dang busy? NOT cool.
I'm still remembering our summertime fun. Fondly.
From the last day of preschool...
to the first day of kindergarten. (Holding self-portrait. Cape included.)
From planting a blueberry bush...
to harvesting and preserving (for the first time!) fruit from an apricot tree.
From turning my baby boy into a little girl... (For just one day. Okay, two.)
to turning my big boy into a concert-lover (his first, American Idol--you Lambert fans know what the blue means!).
From first soccer games...
to first grape-picking.
From costumes...
and costumes...
and costumes...
and costumes...
and costumes...
to teaching Charlie about costumes.
And to this... which may just be the cutest picture of our summer.
Our lives have changed dramatically this past month or two, with hopes for an even better future (although we are blessed to have an incredible, awesome NOW.) But what a wonderful, relaxing, fun summer it was. I'm so glad we took the time to be there for it.
