We love and miss you soooo much! Can't wait to see you again soon!!
Well, Grandma had to head back to Iowa today. Seems like we just picked her up at the airport - but at least we know we had fun b/c time sure flew by! We had lots of fun swimming, reading books, cooking, eating, playing and shopping with her. I am so fortunate to have such young, healthy, active parents who are so incredibly involved in their grandchildren's lives. There's never a moment that I want to kick them out ; ) There might be several moments that they want to run away from our house but again, we are lucky they don't. One other thing I truly admire about my parents is that they've always allowed me (and my sister) to be the parent, they've never stepped in or even attempted. They've never tried to tell us to do things differently with our kids or mocked our ways. They've always, and I stress always, let us live and learn on our own. Even growing up - we were given advice, but never told to do things differently. I'm sure I get upset with my kids when they think I'm crazy, or am too hard on them at moments, but it's always silence from them. I truly adore this about them and I always will. We've all heard of those people who have the "parents and in-laws" who can't stay out of their lives. That is certainly not the case with us and I consider us to be pretty darn blessed.
Anyway, so I (if you can't tell) think I have the best parents ever - and that my children have the best grandparents!!! We love them dearly.
So, life will soon be back to normal...whatever that is. All our visitors are gone, no more planned vacations (although I'm sure one will pop up soon enough), Aunt Stephanie has temporarily moved in (however, she travels so much we never see her, but love her company when she is here), and suddenly bedtime has gone back to 8pm and rise and shine is about to be 6:15am again. Bummer. Where does summer go?
We got to meet Konnor's new 1st grade teacher tonight. He was a little nervous and hesitant to go, especially after having the security of Grandma living with us for awhile, and was worried he wouldn't know anyone, but many thanks to his Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Strauss, he has a wonderful teacher and 4 of his friends in his classroom. 2 boys who were his favorite pals last year and 2 girls, who Mommy must admit were the cutest in the class : ) Both blue-eyed blondes of course!
Needless to say, he is now ecstatic to head to 1st grade and my prayers were answered that he would again be comfortable with his new surroundings this year. We look forward to a fun year with Mrs.Cederdahl and class!
Hunter gets to meet his teachers in the morning and is of course excited. He's moved up to the 4 year olds class and will go 3 days instead of 2. If you ask him, he's in "4th grade" and has "so many friends." He's the least of my worries - the kid gets along with everyone and even enjoys time to himself. We look forward to meeting Ms.Amanda and Ms.Patty tomorrow! (I may have only gotten one of those two teacher's right....I can't even remember who he has).
Quinn gets to spend even more 1 on 1 time with Mom and Dad this year. Lucky boy.
Once again, we love and miss you Grandma! Thanks for EVERYTHING!!! We can't wait to see pictures of your new house tomorrow (or soon anyway)!!!
