Oh man, it's just about over huh? School has already started for so many of you and starts for us on Monday. School!! Seems like school has only been out for a few weeks!
My girls are torn between being sad that Summer is ending and being jazzed about all the new stuff in school this year. Amanda will be starting Student Council (yayayay!) and with any luck (or return calls from the principal), Emilee will be starting third grade with Amanda. Next year, Trin starts pre-k and that will be it. All of my daughters will be in school...
The speedy passing of the Summer is just another reminder of how fast time flies. It reminds me that Amanda will be nine this year and Triniti isn't a baby anymore.
When Amanda was little, I thought it would take forever for every little change. I would watch her sleep and try to see what she would look like when she got big, how she would talk, what kind of person she would be... Now, she will be nine in three months. My baby will be nine. Her last year as a single-digit kid. And it seems like just yesterday that she laughed for the first time and I sat there and smiled and cried because my tiny baby had just laughed at me.
Another Summer, another year... It will be a matter of months before we are thrown back into Winter and with it the end of 2005. I am just constantly amazed at how fast the sand slips through my fingers...
