we've had a fantastic, wonderful, awesome, amazing, really good summer. i mean, so good that when i started thinking about how it was "over" last night, i started to cry. i'm a little less teary tonight, but i still can't get over just how good it was. there were definitely times of stress (nola and avery each had phases of waking before 5am and those were some long days) and irritability (honestly, it can be hard to switch gears and go from being one on one with the kids all day to having an extra set of hands around all the time), but the main emotion i think of when i think of the last 2+ months is happiness.
zane goes back to work tomorrow, i start classes on thursday and avery starts school the following week. there are lots of fall things that we're all looking forward to, but for tonight i'm just going to re-live all our mornings at the res beach, all our afternoons stuck in the house to be safe from the blazing sun, all the nights watching movies while the girls slept peacefully, all the errands that were so much easier to do with zane, all the afternoons spent getting house projects done while the girls napped...it will all be sorely missed and appreciated.
so, while the thermometer will still read in the 90's tomorrow and technically summer is still around for a few more weeks, our "summer" has come to an end and we'll be moving on...180 more work days...but who's counting?
ps, this summer has somewhat solidified my desire to stay in the education field and go with the school library teacher program. i'm not giving up these family summers easily ;)
