21 days till our lives change forever!

Just three weeks from today we will make a sudden, dramatic exit from this precious, crazy, amazing, albeit exhausting, season of our lives. Both of my babies will be in school! Mikaela will be starting 1st grade on August 12th, and on the 17th Holden will begin Pre-K 3 (M,T,W 9-12:30).

Mikaela went four half days for PreK 4 but since I homeschooled her for kindergarten due to the move, the three of us have been together all day every day for the past year. It has been awesome for Mikaela and Holden's relationship for them to get this extra year to grow and play together. This transition is going to be bitter-sweet, but I know they are both ready, and more than anything I am very excited for them!

A couple years ago an awesome friend, incredible mama, and all around beautiful woman (Soryda!) challenged a bunch of us to live intentionally over the summer with our kids. So my thought right now is how to live intentional these next 3 weeks.

Here's to making some memories and having some fun before the schools start dictating our schedules!! :)

Here's a challenge for you: pick something you've never done, somewhere you've never been and just do it!! We all have those little things not far from home (most free or inexpensive) about which for years we've been saying "We should to that/go there." :) So pick one and make it happen before another summer comes to an end.

Holden had his surgery on Thursday and he is doing great!!!! The sore throat comes and goes but as long as he has something for the pain he is his usual, goofy self. :) Thanks for the thoughts, prayers and messages!
