Goodbye Summer ......

It's been so long .....

Time just seems to get away from me these days.

Well, the summer has drawn to a close and the kids have begun an new year of adventure and learning. Ben's in Grade 4 now .....gosh, where does the time go? Seems like yesterday he was a babe in my arms. Now, he is almost to my shoulder blades and growing more mature and more handsome every day. He is a great little man- funny, smart and active ....

Alycat's hit preschool and sure has grown over the summer. She thinks she wants to a be a princess when she grows up that, or a "trampoline people". Friends of ours gave the kids a trampoline a few weeks ago and the kids leap, hop and twist and their hearts delight most nights ( well until they get sick of one another and Mommy or Dad has to separate them).

I'm going to post a hodge podge of summer pics now , you know, to kinda to make up for missing scads of post over the past several weeks.

I've thought of closing off this blog but my honey thinks that it's a great way to journal about our family and a great keep sake for the kids as they grow.

Enjoy ( if any of our friends and family are still keeping tabs that is ....).
