\u00a0And just like that, summer has come and gone.<\/p>\n

In my life, if I’ve learned anything it’s that time truly is fleeting. \u00a0We can dwell on that in a negative way, or find some unnatural way to make it positive. \u00a0And I choose to make it positive!<\/p>\n

I can thank my Mr. for that. \u00a0He always has the refreshing perspective of making things light hearted & positive. \u00a0He’s consistently challenging my innate Eeyore personality to see the silver lining in everything… especially when it comes to our kids.<\/p>\n

I’ve never experienced anything like watching your kids grow up. \u00a0It’s such a happy happy kind of sadness. \u00a0It’s not like death, but similar in that, you can’t really cope if you dwell on it all the time. \u00a0So I’m stopping here to say, you aren’t going to hear me discussing how sad I am anymore-let’s think of the happy! \u00a0And joy in this moment-so I can soak up what Cade called yesterday as the best days of our life. \u00a0And I have to agree. \u00a0May we not mask those days with the dread of them growing up on us. \u00a0Let’s enjoy them growing up on us instead\u2764\ufe0f. What is it Dr. Suess said?<\/p>\n

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Pray this over me & I’ll pray it over you!<\/p>\n

Lot’s of Sonic Happy Hours, TWO Bible Schools, football practices, pool days, porch hangs, pumpkin watering’, lemonade stand for Christmas, the Fourth of July, BeBe’s birthday, family brunchin’, \u00a0…squeezing in as many more sibling bubble baths as we can (they beg me but they are busting at the seams out of the tub LOL), allowances burning holes in their pockets (see Nintendo purchase), sunsphere field trip, food court date night with a trip to admire Pottery Barn without children, catching’ lightening bugs in frying pans, lake days, rah-rah patrolling\/rescue in the backyard every morning, front porch peeing against mom’s wishes, target trips in our pj’s, and the unforgettable neighborhood walks with Bakie yelling at me and demanding 25 popsicles!<\/p>\n

What a summer, 2021!<\/p>\n

Cade volunteered (or was volunteered \ud83d\ude02) to be a coach on Cam’s 8U team-he has been loving it-even though he never darkens the door until like 9 pm every night. \u00a0I have to say…It is so fun doing this together-both of them playing and being outside every evening! \u00a0And Cam is eating up his time with dad…makes me so happy!<\/p>\n

\n

our mudroom organizing station! \u00a0I’ve envisioned this since we moved in, it just takes a while to get to each project \ud83d\ude0a. I’m so in love! \u00a0It will make our life so much easier to have a place to put everything now that they are all in “school\/PDO.”<\/p>\n

I’ll do the finished product in my next post (I’ll try to not wait a month).\ud83e\udd74<\/p>\n
