It's Official

summer is over. The start of school this week means many kid's summers are over. The vacations, the trips to KI or to the zoo - now it is time for homework and projects, early bed times and rise and shine with the sun. The boys have been busy this week between us, mom and Grandma Jean, they have had a great last week of summer. They have gone shopping, hikes in the woods, Zoo, Kings Island, Putt Putt and may be ending the week with a movie.

For the first time in many years Brayden hasn't started with Kenton County. Normally he goes with their schedule but for some reason this year he got an extra three days and he doesn't start until Monday. He is nervous because he hears third grade is hard. It is the year that they are no longer babies and that they have to be responsible for their own actions. I told him last night not to worry he will always be my baby :) But I know that I have to start letting go and allowing him to be responsible for his work and his actions.

Soccer is underway, first game is this weekend for Brayden. He is excited because there are five kids from his class that are on his team, and one of his best buddies, Elliott is playing with him. He kept saying it is going to be a fun season!

Today was my last morning of sleeping in late, Monday will start my school routine of getting up at 5:00 to get everything ready. That is one thing that I do not like about Catholic school in that he starts at 7:20 in the morning - that is so early for the kids, especially the little ones. I wish they would change the time, even if it was an hour back.

I hope everyone has had a great week. Sorry for not posting all week but been super busy with trying to catch up at work since I have been gone the last two weeks. Here is to another wonderful weekend. I hope everyone has a great one!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
