Summer's Coming To An End

So it is true the weather is starting to feel more like fall, the backpacks are filled, shoes are new to go along with a new outfit and open houses are set. Gretchen is excited to have found out this past Thursday that she will be having Mrs. Sutherly as her 2nd grade teacher and even received a note from her on Saturday. She has friends in her class and is very excited to be heading back to the bus stop on Wed. Delaney will have to wait until after Labor Day to put on her new outfit and shoes to go to Miss Sarah's class of 4 & 5 year olds, but is excited her friends will be back and that mom will be teaching right next door. So yes, I will be going back to school too the same day. I am excited about my 1st class of 3 year olds and to be honest a little nervous too! We will be getting the room together later this week, the notes to the kids are heading out next week before the open house and I don't have my new outfit yet, but I do have a new book to read about First Day Jitters. Overall I am sad to say this summer is coming to a close, I think it is because we have had so much fun and have done so many things (I promise I will get back to blogging, just got to get back into the swing of things first) and because although I am very excited to be "working" again I know it is somehow different for us as a family too, it means my babies are growing up and eventhough I know they will if I go back or not, it is just touching a special place in my heart this year - I can't even think about next year and putting my Delaney on the big yellow bus to go to the Big K. Or the following year when they will both be gone all day everyday! I just want to say I am so very proud of my 2 Baby Girls and hope they have another AMAZING school year and just want them to know they will always be my Baby Girls!
