the thankful mom

We're still here. You know, in case you were wondering. :) We've been soaking up the last days of summer, enjoying lazy days of sleeping in, watching tv, mid-morning breakfasts, late afternoon lunches and naps, movie-going, swimming....all that to say, we're in for a very rude awakening tomorrow morning when school is back in session.

But for today I'm going to relish in this last day of summer, and remember our first summer in our new home that was full of days of....

ice cream-eating on the deck (complete with silly faces).....

... hanging out at the park.....

.....a little late-afternoon (still in our jammers, complete with bedhead) drumming....

....lego-building (once again in our jammers~ are you seeing a theme here?) :)....

....playroom redecorating...

.....running through sprinklers with the neighbor kids....

....eating at fab hole-in-the-wall restaurants with Papa.....

....and loving the visit with Mimi and Papa.....

.....AND getting to spend the weekend with Aunt Reagan and Uncle Jon.

We are seriously loved. :)

So now, we are off to our last-day-of-summer dinner out.

Tomorrow our oldest will be a 4th grader, our middle will be a first grader, and our baby will be boarding a plane with Aunt and Uncle to spend a few days in Texas. *gulp*

That's a lot for this mama to process, so I will be spending the day at the movies. :)

Really excited for all three of the boys

(and excited that I get a bonus trip to TX later this week to pick my tiny guy up). :)

But for now....I'm off to enjoy the last day of summer.
