Summer Fun!

Summer has been going by so fast....where has the time gone!  In just 3 weeks Jackson will be starting Kindergarten and it feels like he just graduated Pre-School!!! :-)

So, this summer has been filled with all kinds of excitement! I had a new playset put in the backyard for the kids, thanks to the help of Grandma Patty.  They love it and are outside from sun up til sun down this days.   The kids were in their glory a couple weeks ago when Kurt and his kids were all here for a visit.  The kids have all gotten so big and played great together!  It was a great visit and I myself, traveled to Savannah to visit Sara and Dave for the weekend.  It was great, and a well needed break!  I loved Savannah and really can't wait to go back, it was so beautiful but really hot this time of year.

This past week Katie and I took the kids to VA Beach for some fun in the sun!  The kids enjoyed the beach and hanging at the pool.  I can't believe I have lived here in VA for over 6 years and never been to VA beach!  We will definitely be heading back next summer!   Next weekend I am heading to MI for a few days to celebrate Wayne's 60th Birthday and catch up with some dear friends!  It sure seems like I have traveled allot this summer, but it has helped me to get some much needed breaks.

The last few months have been very busy emotionally as well.  Zach and my divorce will be final in September and I have to be honest, I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life.  I have registered for College this fall and I am excited and scared to death all at the same time!  It has been 10 long years since I have been in school, but I am up for the challenge!  I hope to get into the Dental Hygienist Program.  ;-)  That is my goal for now!  I have also been working on my photography and building a website.  It all takes so much time, and that is something that I really do not have allot of these days with 3 little ones!  But I do my best and try to work on things while kids are napping or when Katie is here to help!  Thank God for our Katie!!

Well, I think that is about it for now!  I'll be sure to post pictures of Jackson's first day along with Max's first day. He will be starting pre-school this year and he goes 2 days a week!  I can't believe how fast my babies are growing!  Here are a few pictures for now!  Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of me and the kids through this crazy time in our lives!!  Love you all!
