Growing up...

I am going to quote my cousin, Shelley, from her recent post:
"Perspective--I watched the "big kids" getting off the school bus this afternoon and it struck me that my kids will never love being with me as much as they do right now, at this stage in their lives. Once they grow older, they won't think I'm the coolest person in the world anymore, won't fall asleep on my shoulder every day, won't want me to hold them constantly, and will be totally content to entertain themselves. Even though parenting a young child is ridiculously hard, I appreciate all of these precious moments when nothing makes them happier than to just be with me."

So as I am thinking about my oldest going to school ALL DAY tomorrow, getting a little filled up, that just reminds me that those extra moments I have with each of my kids are worth every second. Here are some pics:

Who could forget our unforgettable camping trip the hottest, humidest, week of the summer. We discovered fishing...
Here's what we mostly caught

Lizzie lost a tooth and learned how to ride a 2 wheeler all in the same week


While visiting NJ, Aunt Dori took us all to the Please Touch Museum

We all got to visit with our good friends from NJ (this picture is minus the Jackson 3 kids)

Glad you are all doing well, Kell. I love seeing all the pictures on your blog. Hope we can catch up again sometime soon. We'll be traveling to NJ again the weekend of the 24th.
