Sorry I've been a total slacker this summer. I always vow to make weekly updates and then always fail horribly. I hope to be much better about it when we get into a schedule again in the fall.
We're eagerly anticipating meet-the-teacher this Thursday and the start of school next Monday. We've done all our back-to-school shopping and have the school supplies all labeled and ready to be put to good use. But for the first time ever, I'm not totally looking forward to my end-of-the-summer birthday. Forty seems significant somehow and not in the 16-get-to-drive, 21-get-to-drink, 30-finally-feel-like-an-adult sort of way. I'm anticipating a good year though. And I'm trying not to complain about the routine aches and pains and all the kinks that have to work their way out in the morning.
We've had a busy summer full of I Love Justin Beiber dance camp, tennis lessons, baseball camp, and art camp. We've spent hours at the pool, and enjoyed even more R&R in Sandestin, Naples, and Texas. It was a good summer. It feels over even though I'm typing this while sitting in a wet swimsuit. I imagine we have another beach trip in us, so we're not throwing in the towel—or putting it away for the season—just yet.
Here are some slideshows the very unslackerlike Carter put together. I hope they come through with the music. We're not very wizzy with technology. It's on my to do list though so the grandparents and far away friends get to share more in the experiences. I sure do miss all of you. Seeing you always just makes me miss you more.
Enjoy the last rays of summer. It's sad to see them go, but oh how I look forward to all the fun fall brings. You know it's my favorite time of year right. And all those uncreased folders, blank notebook pages, and freshly sharpened pencils are just the beginning.
Sarasota. Stunning water. Cool research aquarium. Neat bird rehab center. Funky botanical gardens. Good food from great heights.
