May 28th??

Seriously? That's the last time I wrote here? For shame. Can you say, "Full-time-working-mother-of-two-small-kids?" I thought so.

The summer has absolutely flown by - every 100 degree day of it. Our summer has been filled with day care fun (including Christopher's snow cone making once a week and at least one painted project a week), swimming lessons at Lifetime Fitness (that's whole story by itself) and hanging at our neighborhood pool on the weekend evenings. During the day, we were thankful for air conditioning, Dora the Explorer, and Sid the Science Kid. Who could ask for anything more? I got some scrapbooking in which is my indulgence, so life is good.

And now, it's time for the school year. Christopher is starting a PreK program in the school district - he will have one year before Kindergarten. I am very excited about it - he has some developmental gaps that this program will help. It's a big school - a regular elementary school with a real gym and cafeteria, etc. He will be going for 1/2 days. They will bus him to his regular daycare after that.

We will be meeting his teacher tomorrow night. I can't wait. He can't wait. Grab the kleenex and make sure the camera is charged.

Mallory will be at the Learning Tree (where she is now) and will be in their 2 year old room. How time flies.

And today, I am tired and thankful. Tired from the working, kids, school, karate, swimming lessons. Thankful that my life is enriched in such a way that enables me to do all those things with my beautiful family. And, it just doesn't get any better than that.
