and just like that...
Summer vacation is over. Tomorrow is my first official day back to work. I am so forever grateful that my job allows me to have a few months off, especially now that we have Everdeen. Before having a little one, my summers were about teaching summer school, laying by the pool, and binge watching Netflix :) Now, they are about being with my little girl 24/7. Watching her blossom and experiencing everyday moments with her that I don't necessarily get to see when I'm off to work.
Today, we took it nice and easy, the way a summer day should be. After Martin got home from work we drove to the park and Everdeen got to ride the little train. She was in heaven! She stepped up onto the stool to give the lady her 75 cents and sat patiently on the bench waiting for the conductor to call us all aboard! I just don't think I'll ever grow tired of watching her experience new things.
What I really wanted was a picture of the two of us together, symbolizing our summer together...but you know how that goes with a three year old. This is what 99.99% of all of our pictures look like lately. But I guess that's okay, because it will just remind us of the stage of life we were in at that moment.
It's always so hard to see summer go. But you're right, these amazing months off make our job all the more rewarding. Wishing you a wonderful school year. PS I love your hair!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meghan! Hope your start of the year is wonderful too!
DeleteLooks like you had a fun day and train ride. Transitions can be challenging, but keep positive.
ReplyDeleteI think you captured your Christmas card picture..the one with Everdeen's legs in the air is super classy :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I'll just photoshop Martin in ;)
DeleteGreat idea. Maybe he can be doing a handstand!
