Already?!?

How is it even possible that tomorrow is our last day of summer?  This has been the fastest summer ever, by far!  I had so many things that I was going to do this summer that haven't been done yet.  But I feel completely okay with it because I have done a lot of stuff that can't be measured at the end of the day.

But on Wednesday, Eva starts 1st grade.  First grade?!?  Shouldn't she only be like 4?  My brain is so confused.  But she is excited and is ready to go.  We prayed all summer that she would get a teacher that she enjoyed, and she got the teacher she was hoping for.  Thank you Jesus for caring about the details in the life of my sweet 6 year old!

On Wednesday, Eli will start his preschool class 4 days a week.  We could not be happier for him.  I have a feeling that this year will be difficult at times, but we are confident that it will be exactly what he needs.  I still feel that God has opened up the door for him to be there.  He knew how much my little guy still needed some speech therapy and some occupational therapy.  I can't wait to watch him continue to make progress this year.

And on Wednesday, I will have just one child to care for every morning.  Again, my brain is very confused!  I'm not sure Isaac or I will know quite what to do with ourselves.  But it will be fun.  I'm looking forward to it.

Today we had big plans to go swimming one last time to close out the summer.  Instead, we met friends at the park because it was too chilly for swimming.  Go figure!  I wore jeans and wished I'd brought a sweater.  More than once, we caught Isaac with a quivering chin.  He wasn't so cold, though, that he wanted to be held for more than 5 seconds.  One quick warm-up and he was good to go!  We had a great time with some great friends this morning.  It was a fun way to round out our summer.  And tonight we go meet Eli's and Eva's teachers!

And so it begins...

In just 4 short years, all of my kids will be in school.  That is completely mind-boggeling!
