Time Marches On

Time Marches On! Summer is waning to an end, only slightly over 3 weeks until school begins again. Layton will be in kindergarten, all day, away from us...SO.NOT.READY. I love having my kids at home, yes they make messes, lots of noise, ask thousands of questions, argue, fight, don't always listen, but I love them and love spending time with them, knowing they are close to me.

We have had Lincoln almost 6 months, he's eating cereal once a day. Growing so fast, starting to jabber (yes, it's in their DNA, evan hasn't been received a quiet kid :) ) and thinking about rolling over. He is marching forward!

Julia, dear sweet, lovely Julia. She's so matter of fact and honest and truthful. I'm so happy she is home with me for another year!

Time is marching on, we still have a load of things to get done this summer.
*County Fair x2, the kids get to show their bucket calves at Tribune, then we will travel to Stockton. *Carnival with best buddies in both places too!
*Roast Marshmellows, we have done that once in the mountains
*SWIMMING
*Lake Time
*Outdoor waterbed
*Back to school shopping
*Say "see ya soon" to one of Layton's best buddies as his family embarks on a new journey in Oklahoma
*Laugh, play, make memories together to hold onto forever

Dad has been telling us about trips he and Mom talked about taking, most (ok, basically all) they never got to. There were always excuses, the farm, needing to care for parents, dogs, time, kids, money...He realizes so much time marched on and the future is uncertain, he is starting to live more, travel more, making plans to see many of the places they dreamed of seeing together. She will be watching over all of us as time marches on.

Take note, love deeper, say yes more often, hug, kiss, live more!
