Summer is coming to an end...

This past month has been filled with ups, downs, and all arounds. No matter what comes my way, I continue to count my blessings and cherish the relationship with my husband, daughter, family, and close friends. I love that no matter what happens, that I have Kyle, who is without a doubt a constant in my life. I know that we can make it through anything together.

Outside of the day to day events, I did get a few things accomplished this month. I worked on Kathryn's scrapbook...I am determined to be "caught up" before her 2nd birthday (and I am super close to being there). I finished up my in-service hours and set up my classroom. And, I knocked out several doctor appointments. Kathryn and I have spent lots of time together which is always fun. We have had several playdates as well as Mommy and Kathryn days. We did take Kathryn to her first Sounds game too. She LOVED it, we will definitely take her again.

Kathryn is continuing to grow like a weed. Her brain is a sponge. She knows most of her ABCs, can count to 10, knows many shapes and colors (she LOVES puzzles still...and is really good at them), and is singing along to songs. She can half way carry on a phone conversation...she likes talking on the phone. She loves to play, and I enjoy watching her play. She "cooks" in her kitchen and will feed all of us (including Bailey). She is really good at entertaining herself. She is also repeating EVERYTHING we say...including the word Yall...wonder who she hears that from. I cannot believe she will be 2 in a week and a half. Time is going by too fast.

I have been a blogging slacker this month. Once school starts up and I am back into my routine, I will post more often. I did want to share a pic this post...this was taken on our trip back in June (I just got the CD, so I am late posting these pics).

Where does the time go...SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!

I cannot believe it is JULY! As my co-worker posted the other day, summer is not half over, it is half full...I kind of liked that, so I am stealing it. I have been a blogging slacker. I do so much better during the school year when I am on a normal schedule. This past month flew by. We were in Ponte Vedra for a week with my family. We had such a fun time. The home we stay in was amazing. We visited St. Augustine while we were there...what a neat town. It definitely made my list of places to consider retirement! The following weekend we went to the lake with a big group, again, another fun filled weekend. This past weekend was the 4th, and we were busy once again. During the week, I have spent lots of time poolside which is my favorite thing to do in the summer. With just a few weeks left before school starts back, there are several things I want to do. I really want to scrapbook. I just need to sit down and do it. I would like to visit with a few folks. And, there are a few house projects I need to tackle. In the midst, I need to start planning Kathryn's 2nd birthday party. I have decided to do something small this year. I am going to do a breakfast and bubbles theme with mostly family. Speaking of Kathryn, she amazes me everyday. She will repeat anything asked of her. She is making full sentences. She has been talking about the potty a lot lately, so I am thinking I may work on that before school starts back as well. On a completely different subject, I am SOOOOOOOOO ready for college football. As much as I dread the beginning of each school year, I always remind myself that college football is right around the corner and that totally excites me...GOOOOOO NOLES!!!!!!!!!
