Transitions.
It seems to be that life is a lot about change these days. Summers even have a different feel as our girls are getting older and I try to find the right balance between keeping them busy, yet giving them the down time they don't have during the school year.
Highlights of our summer so far are our annual trip to the Tennessee mountains with my extended family, a week of Vacation Bible School, a visit from my brother and his family, a week of church camp for our oldest daughter, and last week's "Safe Sitter" class that my younger daughter took at our local technical college.
Posting here on the blog will be sparse over the next few weeks as we fit in our other two trips of the summer, one of which is a long-anticipated vacation to Boston. All four of us enjoy history, so it will be neat to walk the Freedom Trail and see many of the sites that played an important role in the founding of our nation. It will also be the first time our girls have flown on an airplane...though I think they're a little nervous about that part of the trip!
Hope you're enjoying your summer!
We just watched a video about walking the Freedom Trail, and I'm so jealous that you're going to get to walk it yourselves! ;) I hope we'll make it up there one day and hit Philadelphia, too, while we're at it. There's so much history up there! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteMake the memories while you can! And have a tremendous and blessed time together! Chris

ReplyDeleteSo with you on the finding balance b/t keeping them busy & giving them the downtime they don't get during the school year!
