Third day of school

The first day of school was last Friday.  It’s been so nuts around here that I haven’t had time to even think about it and here it is day 3!  My babies are growing up!  I am sure I am not the only one to feel this but it seems like this summer has flown by faster than any other.

Down at the bus stop

Isaac is playing middle school soccer and I am one of the coaches for the team.  We are running around 6 days a week with practice right now.  Abigail is about to start soccer and her singing in the Appalachian Children’s Chorus.  So, what does that all have to do anything?  I don’t know what I am trying to say other than holy cow, school is here already!  Next thing it will be Christmas!

Anyhow, the kids got off to a good start for school this year.  I am so proud to see them growing up so well and they are becoming interested in interesting things.  Some folks have a tough time seeing their kids grow up but I couldn’t be happier to see them develop. Of course, some times I wish it would slow down some, but I do not want time to stop.  There is way too much yet to see!

  1. Looks like Issac has had a big growth spurt over the summer! I too think summer went by way too fast this year. We didn’t do a lot of things that I had planned on doing. My kids don’t start until Thursday and I’m not ready for it at all.

  2. I have always had the same feelings about my kids growing up. I am proud of them. I’m amazed by them. I don’t miss the baby days at all. I do miss the simplicity of their younger days, though. Good luck to you, Emily and your kiddos as they wade through another school year.

  3. I feel the same way. Each stage gets better and better. And now its great to see my children all grown making a success of their lives and raising wonderful children of their own. The best is yet to come.

  4. I know what you mean, it seems like every time I turn around it’s the beginning of school. Christmas or the end of the school year!

    This is the first year in a very long time that we are not following the public school calendar! We dropped The Boy off at college in Chicago on Saturday, Ab-Cat started her NEW job this morning and Mousey starts college on Wednesday. It’s all different but all good!

    Oh.My.Word. Isaac looks ginormous! Abigail looks her sweet, petite self!
