SUMMER'S END




It is hard to believe that its done! This summer went by sooo fast and it just makes me so sad. One of the best summers I have ever had. I enjoyed every moment with my kids, I hardly worked, enjoyed life to its fullest! I headed to Detroit over labor day to see my sister Angie and the boys, just me and the kids, it was great! We had so much fun visiting nature trails, parks, Lake St.Clair, flea markets, the zoo....Mom even got some speed shopping done at the outlet mall on the way in howell. The kids were awesome! They are such good kids....Honestly, I don't know what I would do or where I would be without them. They are my life and my everything. Karlie is getting so old!! She is so mature in her thinking and actions, her big milestones this summer were learning to swim all by herself! NO SWIMMIES! She is a great swimmer, I was shocked to come home from work one day to her telling me she could swim. I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes, we even had to go back to grandmas THAT night so she could show me. She learned how to ride her bike with NO training wheels! She is big stuff and so sweet, she loves her brother so much and is always taking good care of him. Luke, he copies EVERYTHING you say with excitement and enthusiasm in his voice. Today?!!! Tomorrow?!! Everything you say, he says it back but with such a high excitement! He is hilarious and makes me laugh all the time. REFUSES to be potty trained. Sleeping in his big boy bed was a big thing for him.
Karlie started preschool this week. I am actually doing very well with it. I think its b/c I am so happy and excited for her! She is just going to love it and she is sooo ready. She is going to grow and learn so much and make friends, she is sooo happy. She said goodbye to dad this morning with no delay. I have to work every Monday and Wednesday and she goes Mon, Wed, Friday. I was kinda sad about that b/c I can't take her and pick her up, but like one mom told me, this way I get to be with her all day and have my days off with her too! May as well be at work if she's at school....I still want to be the one doing it. BUT thank the Lord for dads job b/c he can go in late and he gets to bring her each day so that is really special for them too. so much Fun! I am really looking forward to seeing her grow and being there with her through school, I just pray we made the right decision picking HCS.....I pray she never has to go through some of the things I had too....I can only do my best and be the best parent I can be to her and the Lord will take care of the rest!
