I can't believe the time has come for me to actually say that. Regardless, today is our last day of summer as a family. Charles starts work tomorrow, and I start on Thursday. I wish I could say I was excited, but leaving my babies after such a fun time this summer just plain sucks. Sorry to be so blunt, but it does. I am trying to hold back the tears, but I know the Dam is fixing to break. We are blessed to have such wonderful jobs and an entire month off together, but it just never seems like enough time. My babies are growing up fast and I hate it. I hear Caelin say more words every day and Cade is getting turning into a little boy now. My heart hurts thinking that tomorrow will start a new chapter and I will have less time with them. I have to remind myself though that God placed Charles and I in our jobs for a reason. We are there for his Glory and I simply cannot deny that, no matter how bad I might want something different. Not to mention, God even blesses us with Gamee's love of free childcare. So, how does one turn away from God's calling and his blessings? Well, you don't! So, on we go to start another year of school...but I am already looking forward to next summer!
To celebrate the day, we just had to visit our donut shop first. Both kids got their usual sprinkle donut and chocolate milk. Then, we headed off to downtown Tomball to visit the train depot and Nonnie's Soda Fountain. We always enjoy getting ice cream here, and the train depot area is so relaxing. When we got home, Caelin and I had a girls party with painting nails/naptime while Cade went with Daddy to see the new Movie "Turbo". Cade has been looking forward to that for a long time now. It was a nice relaxing day for us all. Tonight we plan to just eat dinner and snuggle. OK, truthfully that is MY vision...the kids will likely not go for that! Hehehe...
