Blink of an Eye

in a blink of an eye and summer is already almost over for the kids. We received a packet yesterday from school already with the school supply list, cafeteria schedule etc. It is hard to believe that they will be back into school in 4 weeks. Where in the heck did the summer go? I believe that once you graduate high school your life goes full speed ahead and before you know it you are planning a 20year high school reunion and you have a third grader :) Time just goes by too quickly.

I just feel like we haven't done too much with the kids this summer. Don't get me wrong, they are having a blast with both Grandmas and spending their days swimming, aggravating each other LOL, and just being kids - like they should be doing. I am excited to take them to the water park this weekend. Brayden said to me last night, mom I am so excited about this weekend, we have something fun every single night to do - I love to hear that. I always worry that the kids will be bored or that I am not giving them great childhood memories.

Speaking of memories, does anyone remember the hot air balloon races that used to happen a long time ago. We were talking about this the other night and I remember as a child one day during the summer not exactly sure when, but being able to see a lot of hot air balloons from our backyard. In fact they would fly right over mom and dad's house and I remember we would always try to look for the next one and then we would pick out our favorite ones. I thought it happened around Labor Day. Steve said he thought they started out up at Thomas More. I loved watching those, it was so much fun. That is on my bucket list of things to do one day - to go in a hot air balloon. How cool would that be!!

Another beautiful morning - what a beautiful sunrise it was with the sky the way it was. It makes you think God for another beautiful day. I hope everyone has a great weekend plan and is able to be with the ones you love. Enjoy it and be grateful for each day :)

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
