One Week!

Wow, I really can't believe we only have one week of summer vacation left. A friend of mine asked me the other day if the girls were ready to head back to school. I commented that I know they are ready, but I don't think I'm ready. I have gotten use to having them here everyday! It's funny at the beginning of the summer, I often worry if the days will be long and boring, can I make summer exciting for everyone, so many thoughts usually race through my mind. But now here we are at the end and I can't believe it has gone been so quickly. I heard Emery talking to Kelci in the car the other day and she was talking about starting school. She was saying something about being excited, but that she was going to miss being with her family all day. Both the girls will be missed during the day. They help me out so much, they love playing with Cambree and Brody, and I know those two will be confused not having them home. Cambree thinks she is going to school as-well, poor thing. Change is always difficult for me, and even though this isn't a big change, the fact that the kids are going back to school and are another year older, reminds me that they are changing. Changing into little people now, it has really made me stop and cherish all the moments I can, because I know they won't last forever. Just today I was watching my cousins youngest daughter Emily, she was teaching Emery how to braid some yarn. Emery was so excited about learning to braid, and just couldn't get enough of it. Something so simple keeps her happy. I really have been feeling so blessed lately, I have four healthy, beautiful children who bring something different to our family. It sort sounds like I'm bragging, but it is my blog right?? The kids are very different from each other, but each of them have taught me something. Emery is so easy going, helpful and self motivated and has a great sense of humor. Kelci is shy & reserved, but spunky when she wants to be, she is opinionated and has a strong will!! Cambree is just so loving, she loves anyone who enters her world, she is passionate about food, she is always right with me in the kitchen these days helping make everything, Brody is my breath of fresh air some days, he makes me smile, he is FULL of energy and life, he loves to watch and take in everything...watch out world for this kid. I feel grateful to be there mommy.
