Summer has come and gone for us... just like it does- quicker every year. This year was NO exception. We clung to break with all of our might. -tried to saver ever single minute. -went for night swims.. late ones! -had friends over... a lot! -but mostly we.. just played. We LOVED IT! I do so think it was our best yet.....

Prissy is 110% girl... I {heart} that about her. She has a gentle spirit that can not be rushed... I'm learning more about her everyday. She is little in that 11yr old body. She loves to cuddle with me & wants my approval every step of the way. Prissy reminds me of another little curly headed girl I knew a long time ago... That little girl wanted to be with her Cooner all day EVERY day.. and still does!
*****
A-man is a delight! He is 110% boy. He likes bugs, dirt, rocks, anything army and gun and knife related, would watch Star Wars at any point of any day, and of course has a heart for all things LEGO. He is quiet yet profound. He's a lot more like Joey than me :) When he says something its got meaning- not just to hear himself {Prissy and I are working on that- ha ha}. He is a true friend, great sharer, wonderful swimmer, amazing prayer- AMAZING, but mostly he is my little David after God's own heart.
*****
We {in no small means} got wrapped up in a Hallmark series called "When calls the hear". It is SO good. It was sorta our thing in the evenings all summer. So much so that A-man made me these little mini figures of Mounty Jack and Elizabeth. "Presh" as Prissy would say.

Prissy started 6th grade. I have no words.
except that her lingo has changed a bit now-
presh- precious
supes- super
totes- totally
adorbs- adorable
A-man- bro-chocho
....and many MANY more
*****
She likes bows as big as her head! But she can rock them out- so I make them...

And... per Joey's request {and with Prissy and I kicking and screaming} we are letting her.... try to become... more independent. I can hardly type these words. She must now do her work independently, and ask if she needs help. I cannot make sure her backpack is ready for the next day- she must. I cannot look over her commentarius- she must. And if things need to be checked- she must ask for help. It's been hard, but I think it's gonna be so worth it. She now leaves us little notes like this...
"TOTES ADORBS!"
A-man started 1st grade... again no words.
But as Joey says "they should really be paying us to have him!" I couldn't agree more!
"SUPES PRESH!"

Yesterday we heard that a precious doctor in Joey's practice passed away. We are all sorta numb by it. He leaves behind a sweet wife and 4 darling daughters. Today my hearts is heavy and full. I'm grateful for my husband and my lovelies. I do not know what tomorrow holds, but today I'm full of joy and am determined to hang on to what's important.
