So it appears as if the summer came and went this year without a chance to recap the pure awesomeness of it all. Having my whole family home all summer was nothing short of wonderful. While Greg worked just till noon through June we still had an abundance of time to all be together. I think being able to see the working mom side of life makes me appreciate getting to live the stay at home mom life for awhile. As I set at school some days I literally count the days until I get to be at home with my sweeties again. So here are a few of our favorite things/accomplishments from this summer :
1. Getting up every morning without an agenda and sleeping as late as we wanted (actually make that as late as the kids wanted).
2. Our outings to Deanna Rose, the zoo, train place, parks on a daily basis.
3. Trips during the week to visit Papa and DoeDoe.
4. Swimming. Harper going down the slipper slide at Gram's pool for the first time. Lots of backyard blow-up pool time.
5. Harper becoming potty trained. She was a rock star with only a few accidents.
6. Briggs riding his big boy bike.
7. Harper transitioning to a big girl bed.
8. Enjoying a cup of coffee outside on cool morning while playing with the kids.
9. Our new swing set. I can only imagine how many countless hours we spent pushing swings.
10. The feeling of going to bed at night with no stress and waking up without rushing around.
I think Greg and I knew that we would love having our time together in the summer but never did we anticipate how perfect it would actually be. I feel so fortunate not only that I have a job that I love but a job that affords me the opportunity to spend some good quality time with my sweet little family. Here's hoping next summer gets here soon and we have many more beautiful summer days together.
