Summer time going by too fast

I can hardly believe that next week it will be the beginning of August. Where has the summer gone?? Normally, I am not so sad for the summer to be over, but this time it is completely different. Our little girl will be going to kindergarten. Can this even be possible? I am having such a hard time with it, but I am really trying to deal with it myself instead of letting Addison see how I am really feeling. She has her backpack and lunch box. We went shopping for all of her supplies for school. She is ready as ever, but I am trying to squeeze in as much quality time as I can.  Starting August 23rd she will be gone from about 8:45-4:15 every day!!! I already have a pit in my stomach from the feeling I will get when she steps onto that school bus for the first time and I am no longer there to protect her and watch out for her every minute of the day. Why do I start this...I am crying as I type.   Okay plenty of time for that. 


We still have a lot of summer time fun left so let's talk about that. This weekend has been fun. Addy is starting to practice riding her bike without training wheels. Jay has got his hands full with this. I know my dad helped me, but to be honest I just remember riding my bike without training wheels. I am sure I wasn't very easy to teach either. Bless her heart, Addy expected to get it on the first try and gets really frustrated with herself. Austen and I loved watching her try and try again. He has been such a huge blessing. He is always making me laugh. He says things that I find myself looking at him and asking "Did you really just say that?" He has a smile that melts my heart. He knows that Addy will be going to kindergarten and every time he sees a school bus he says "Sissy ride a bus". I think he is in for a world of shock for when she is gone all day. They will be excited to see each other that is for sure.  


I will post some pictures from our fun weekend so far! Enjoy
