I'm SO excited for school to start on Monday! I miss my school friends, my gym, my kids, time alone etc... I know once the day after day hits me, I'll long for summer do nothing days but right now I'm giddy as a school girl.
I think the only time I've been more excited than this year was LAST year. After being at home all summer (and part of Spring) with Damion, oh I mean Bowen, I practically skipped to convocation last year. The freedom I experienced was delightful, no one suckling at my boob all day, no carrying around a baby who takes 15 minute at a time naps, oh and did I say no nursing every 2 hours?! Bowen had increased 10 fold in funness since last summer! He's so cute, he waddles around the house wearing Laine's bike helment screaming with joy. He voluntarily lays his head on my shoulder when I pick him up. It's still so sweet when he signs please when he wants something. He's still much more sensitive than Laine ever was and is really demanding. Like I always say, he better be glad he's cute! I'm going to miss the babyness he's losing but as we've experienced with Laine, they only get more fun the older they get. I WILL NOT be sad that my children are growing up. If they weren't growing up there would be something wrong with them. I know there are some parents that ache and wish they could see their children grow up. So I will take them to school this year with a smile on my face and curiosity in my heart wondering who they will be at the end of this school year.

Growing up is scarey but if we do our jobs correctly, they will be just fine. Every year is more fun than the last (til 18 with you-know-who).
You have great kids, and it has been so much fun to see them grow up. The baby stage is cute...but I'm sure it would get old after a while! Who wants to breast feed and change diapers for the rest of their life!
ok i wish i had your great attitude about school starting! it was so great to see you last week and your beautiful kids!
Joni needs to pop out some babies!
Bowen looks like a freakin' stud in that picture...I think he's going to be cool...hey, look who he has to look up to...not too shabby. Anyway, I had fun chillin on the jumpoline with Laine the other day...she sure is growing up...I like it too!! Had fun with your hubby as well...possibly too much fun...naaahh.
