Hi! Owen started Pre-K today, and if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know that I’m feeling all the feels about my first born being away from me for more than three hours at a time.
While I work through these very complex emotions (actually, they aren’t very complex. I’m both miserably sad and totally ecstatic at the same time) I thought I would let you know what we did on our summer vacation besides watch Chuggington and Wild Kratts and eat Popsicles.
Without further adieu ( and because I have to pick up Owen in an hour and you bet your blue jeans I’ll be the first one in line) here is our summer in photos.
In case you missed it, we moved from a house we adored to a new (to us) house we adore even more. Our neighborhood backs up to a pecan orchard and a cattle farm, but we’re only minutes away from necessities (ie Target, Kroger and Chick Fil A).
The boys love it here, and especially love our donkey neighbors. We sometimes walk on what Owen calls “the main road” to pet and feed our new friends.
One of the saddest parts of moving was also moving away from our good friends and neighbors. Fortunately, they encouraged us to buy a summer pool membership at a local country club, and we have really enjoyed keeping cool and seeing our friends!
Sweets were enjoyed …
Swings were pushed …
Frogs were caught …
And tantrums were thrown.
But most of all, we just tried to stay cool.
So we went to the library.
A lot.
And when all else failed, and I was at my wit’s end, we watched TV.
If you’re summer vacation is already coming to a close, I hope it was good to you. And if not? I hope you enjoy it while it lasts!
Now I’m off to stand at the doors of Owen’s school like a lost puppy. This gets better, right?
Thanks for reading!
Jamie
