Outside playing tonight after dinner. A little jump rope practice. A little obstacle course running. A little fetch playing with Chance. Just lovin' the last few days of summer vacay before school starts. sob sob....I really do love summer vacation. And although I'll love a couple hours of quiet once school starts, I'm going to miss having the monkeys home with me. I like 'em. They're fun :-)
Is Abby really going into 3rd grade? Are Hannah and Griff really going to be in Kindergarden? Yikes, that sleepless first year seems very long ago suddenly, yet I can remember it in great detail. I was talking to H&G about school starting the other night, the fun they were going to have, yada yada yada, and the conversation turned to when they were first born and how little they were. They wanted to hear all the stories about late night feedings, how they cuddled together in the pack-n-play, how Hannah never wanted to eat, how Griff used to cry at night and I would sit in their room (they shared at first) and sing quietly to him until he feel asleep, hoping I wouldn't wake Hannah with my off-key voice. I told them about the nights Mike and I were so tired after multiple feedings that we would just fall asleep in the bed in Hannah's room with them sleeping right next to us, too tired to put them back in their cribs. Those nights seemed so long then, I remember just wanting it to be morning. And now I look at them and it's hard to believe the little people they've turned into. I wasn't sure we'd make it to five! But we did....and they are great!
And Miss Abby. Thank God she is and was such a good, easy going kid. So much older than her years. I guess she had to grow up a little fast, but she did so with ease and is such a doll. I asked if she would make sure H&G got to their classroom the first couple of days and she told me not to worry, that she was planning on walking them to their room every day for two months :-)
Okay, some pictures from tonight. Off to check in the kiddos and then bed.
Abby in her yoga pose.
Hannah is completely out of focus in this picture, but I had to post it. This is completely her. Always the joker!
"Griff, can I take your picture?" "Sure Mom......like this face?"
A bit of Daddy love.
