Summer days…drifting away
August 22nd, 2011 § Leave a Comment
We are back from our unplanned summer break-from-blogging! We are doing great, a little bit more sun-kissed than we were back in June, and doing our best to enjoy this beautiful time of year without worrying about how fast it’s passing us by. And how are you?
Is there anything better than summer? We have really enjoyed the warmth, the walks, the trips to the pool, the zoo. We have a new fence that has expanded our world of play by a lot, giving us opportunities just to be outside without having to do all the prep work that often accompanies being outdoors with little ones.
Everyone in the house is also a little older and wiser, with three birthdays celebrated. In fact, Dan and I got to celebrate his 32nd birthday (what a youngster!) with a fabulous trip to see Trey, Mike, Page and Jon just a few steps from our front door (relatively speaking) and feel like we were 20 years old again.
As we wind down the warmer days and ready ourselves for the start of preschool, cooler weather and falling leaves, I keep thinking of what Jeff Bridges recently said in an interview that his mom used to always say when he left the house: “Have fun. And don’t take it too seriously.”
Let’s try it, shall we?
