Already August?

This year has gone by so fast and been so hectic. I cannot keep up. I keep telling myself everything will slow down after this or after that. But it never does. In one week Tatum and Brock caught the flu, one of our dogs started having seizures, we had several hundred dollars’ worth in repairs on both cars, and a toilet broke causing damage to flooring. Seriously that was one single week. The rest of the year has been much of the same. Yet, it has not all been bad. There have been many positives sprinkled in here and there… Tatum graduated preschool, Brock has become quite the charmer and climber, Dustin and I are teaching Sunday School together, and Dustin accepted a dean position. Yet, the biggest news of all is Tatum starts kindergarten next week.

I cannot believe my baby is old enough to be in kindergarten. It feels like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. I cry every time I think of her starting school. She is a little scared because the school is so big (it is a k-8 so it really is a big school) but she will do fine. I am more worried about Dustin and I… we are going to cry like babies. This morning she had her kindergarten assessment. As her teacher was walking her out of the classroom Tatum loudly states, “School isn’t so bad after all”. Oh my, this is going to be an interesting school year J!
