time really does fly
today is the last day of July. Next month brings school for many, in this university town, the end of summer, and the lag that we all start to feel when we are ready for the wind to get that biting chill and the leaves to start turning beautiful shades of cold and burning orange.
Yesterday we received our welcome letter, in the mail, from our elementary charter school which Gavin will start kindergarted on Aug. 19th. I must say I feel a little big lost, having to figure out school, considering being on the parent bored, wondering what is expected of me, and a little nervous to grow up. i never thought i would be nostalgic for my childish ways, but here it is, a little fear in my heart at what changes will be coming out way with the big frontier of school, and a social life that i don't have any say in.
Little brother Rian is the little shadow of his older brother, they are always together, playing, fighting, bonding, the only way brothers can.
my little sister in law has been staying with us for the past week. we have been having a blast! i've forgotten what it was like to be a boy crazy 15 year old! the boys have just loved having their Aunt Sarah here to play with them. today, my brother in law, Malcolm, and his son will be coming to visit also and will be staying with us off and on throughout the next week or so. it's so much fun seeing all of Dan's siblings getting together. they all live so very far from eachother that we don't get much time with then throughout the year.
I feel very blessed that i live near most of my family. all but one of my sisters live within a 5 mile radious of eachother. kim, we miss you, but it's always good when we see you too!!! love you :)
with fall just around the corner, there are many things to look forward too, school starting, Gavin's 6 year birthday, my birthday- a big 24- woohoo, am i right? yeah that was suppose to be sarcastic. i love the fall, the smell of the leaves, the air as it cools, to a biting thing that turns your nose red. the transitions of the seasons are all so beautiful and unique and i am happy to live in a place where the change in the season is so noticeable and unique.
