Summertime

One of my favorite things about summer is lightning bugs. As a child, my siblings and I used to wait until dusk and run around like crazy people to catch these little bugs. We'd put them in a jar and watch them light up. SO fun. I want those same memories for my boys. Last night, I took Conner and Parker outside at 9pm and let them run around like crazy people trying to catch them. It brought back memories for me; more importantly, it's starting memories for them.
I totally love that they are BFFs. next summer, there will be three little boys chasing those fun little bugs. My heart is full.

the end...

Last week was the last week of school for the boys. It was such a great year and both boys grew physically, emotionally and most importantly, spiritually. They had wonderful, loving teachers. They looked forward to school (most days). To look back over the year is so bittersweet. Time is flying by. I know I'm home with them and see them every single day but I feel like I am missing it.

Each boy got these awesome end of the year books and the change in Parker is more than remarkable. Not only did I cry, so did Daddy.

I have big plans for this summer.
*Go to the gym...gotta get rid of this baby weight
*swimming lessons
*Vacation Bible School
*Hilton Head!!! yay for vacation!
...and that's just JUNE.

My goal for this summer is to blog more. I need to. I want to remember these days.
