It's been a little while because it's currently my busy time at work! But after September, I will finally have more time to get back into blogging/keeping up with this Violet memory book :) Speaking of her, she is starting a Mother's Day Out program in a few weeks and I'm nervous, excited and totally terrified. She's been in an in-home daycare before but that didn't go well. I think because there was no real structure, she had too much time to realize we weren't there and miss us! lol I'm optimistic about this one though, we've heard great things and she's just so much different now than she was early this year. She's grown up a lot, become more outgoing and doesn't miss us nearly as much. ha Expect a longer post about MDO SOON!

Now, I need to get her prepared. Like we  have an actual Back to School thing going on here, it's exciting! I'm not gonna lie, but I'm excited for me too because I have always LOVED shopping for school supplies.

never end, summer.

As hot as it is outside (and it is HOT), I'm not ready for the summer to end.

The summer ending means Ronnie goes back to school soon and the craziness will ensue. I really am going to miss having him around all the time and I know he'll miss being the one at home with Violet every day (me, too). We have just two weeks left before our comfy little summer routine comes to an end. Say it ain't so!

So here's what we've been up to the last week:

// Playing in the sprinkler // Aunt Jeena time // Playing in (or out) her new tent //

// Watching her daddy grill // Sleeping in on the weekend // Farmer's Market //

// Waking up with Prince hair // Still obsessing over sunglasses... //

And that last picture up there? The one with a blurry Violet and a Hannah trying to crawl into a dog crate? It's one of the last pictures I could get of our girls together. My friend, Elizabeth has decided to leave us (because it's all about me here) for bigger, better things in Cambridge, MA. She is headed to Harvard Law this fall! No big deal, right?

She is one of the first local bloggers I met, oh, about 3 years ago and is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I will miss our lunch dates and chats so much but most of all I'll miss her and her little family being just 5 minutes away. I can't believe how much bigger our girls will be the next time we see each other! Crazy. I really am so excited for their new life and the adventures to come. Best of luck, friend. Harvard is lucky to have you!!

This "back to school" thing is killing me.

 

I'd like a forever summer, please. And for friends to never move away!
