Last Sweet Days of Summer

Summer is completely fleeting! So here I am, on August 25th and realizing it's been weeks since I've blogger. I've had good intentions but I've neglected my space here once again. We've been busy soaking up the beautiful Summer in New England. We've had long, lazy days, we've gone on our annual Cape Cod vacation, we've hit the beach, gone to the farms, went blueberry picking and went on zillions of long evening walks. We've roasted marshmallows, visited family, hung out with friends, watched outdoor movies and soaked it all up. We checked our bucket list over and over and I think we've successfully completed it all! This past week we slowly strolled back into the middle school, to test lockers, to find familiar names on homeroom doors and I couldn't help remember...

remember that this will be the very LAST year my oldest will be in this middle school. 

and that after 11 years, this will be the very LAST year my youngest is in that elementary school.

So I am trying. I am trying to remember that summer has been wonderful and it coming to an end is bittersweet. We need to enthusiastically look ahead to another school year full of excitement and challenges. 

Summer of 2017's chapter is almost coming to an end and the next chapter is beginning. 

Happy Weekend!
