Dis-Connect

Okay- how is it possible that I only have 1 more week of glorious summer break before I have to go back to the real world of work? I mean really- where did 10 weeks go? It seems like a lot, 10 weeks, but in reality, it truly just flew by! Thinking back, we did a lot...we went to the beach, we went on countless playdates, hung out in the sandbox, had a few picnics (before the 100+ weather), went to San Antonio, had a sleepover, played with cousins and friends and took tons of naps, which might have been one of my favorite parts and lots and lots of swimming:)

With James' current medical issues, I am not able to do with him the things I did with Michael, which initially made me sad. I can't take him to Gymboree for play class, I can't take him to Willow Bend to play in the morning or the Science Museum to run around- well, I could, but I would be risking him getting sick from other kids:( I did take him to a bouncy-house place and unfortunately paid for it later with a really nasty cold...I try to look at the fact that he had a blast! I can't help but think he is missing out, but then I have to remind myself that he is 15 months and he won't remember it...but I will! SOOOOO I had to make James' summer memorable for both of us and that we did! We played, we chased each other around the house, we did Sean T's Insanity and we danced!!! The boy LOVES to dance and he LOVES to sing!!!! He is so full of life and reminds me everyday that we can have just as much fun at home as we do at any play-class or camp:)

Michael has continued going to PPMA all summer- it turns into a camp over the summer with different themes each week- I think his favorite so far was the Space Week- He came home telling us about all of the planets, how they rotate, which ones have moons and rings and that "The sun is a burning star!" I LOVE his school and I love how excited he is to go every day! They had an "Astronaut" come and read them stories about space and the planets and he could not get in the car fast enough to tell me all about it! I can't believe how fast our little Michael Man is growing up and that in 2 VERY short years, he will be in Kindergarten!!! AHHH! How is that possible!

Now- I have 1 more week to savor my time with my boys before work life sets back in- I have absolutely loved being home these past 2 1/2 months and am so bummed it is coming to an end:( Being a stay-at-home mommy was never something I envisioned for myself and I LOVE what I do! I think I am having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that James is our last baby and I want to absorb every moment I can before August 6th!

Happy Summer!!!!
