After hosting family for the past 3 weeks, we finally have our house back and we are all settled back into our routine. It was nice to have family here and it was great seeing everyone, it really was! We had a great time visiting with grandparents and cousins. Hosting for a long stretch of time is definitely exhausting though. We were wiped out every night! It was nice watching the kids play together and it reminded me so much of my own childhood when all of the cousins played together during the summertime. It was a nice time for them and I hope it's something the kids will remember. The kids had a very hard time saying goodbye to my folks at the airport. They didn't want them to leave! As soon as we said goodbye and got into the car, the kids were crying. We talked about it and I asked them to tell me what their favorite part of the visit was. I think that by sharing and talking about it, helped a bit. I do wish we all lived closer so that we could see each other more often. We may try to head up to Vermont in the Fall or next Spring. We'll have to wait and see.
We received a letter from the local school letting us know that Lauren has been accepted into the Pre-K program! Yeah, no more weekly preschool payments!! When we received the letter and explained to Lauren that she was going to be riding the big bus with Jack and Caroline, she went upstairs and put on her Princess backpack and was ready to go! She is so excited and ready!!! She doesn't even want to go to her preschool anymore and wants to go to the big school! too cute.... Hard to believe our little one will be off to school this Fall.
Six weeks left of summer before the kids go back to school.... We've had a great summer though - camping, summer camp, visits from family, pool, the Zoo, Kings Dominion, Thursdays with Pops and Gigi, movies, sleepovers, kids first triathlon in Aug., and our annual family trip to OBX in August. We've certainly created some memories this summer.
Below is a picture of my folks with the kids at the Fair. I really like this one!
