This summer we are having a summer to remember. Most of our summers are memorable, but this year we are making it a theme to be Epic.

Sadly that can backfire on me a little. My son was sad tonight that camp ends tomorrow. Then he told me he didn’t want to go to second grade. He said he wants to stay home and have fun.

I had to remind him that there is still a month of school vacation left and we still have our vacation to New Hampshire to go on. I also told him he has a big job to do as a big brother. He needs to help get Adrienne excited about starting kindergarten and riding the bus to school.

So I had to remind him if something that I also needed to do myself – enjoy the now. I have to take my own advice. I keep looking towards events coming up in August and September and I too, need to enjoy the now and live in the moment. I also need to keep my little Adrienne little as long as I can because once she sets foot on that bus the next 12 years are going to zip past me in a blur. I am struggling with seeing them grow so quickly. It’s a wonderful thing to see them thrive and grow but it pulls at my heart so hard at the same time.

I love them so much and we are so happy. I will have to make an #epicfall and #epicwinter theme with them to keep the fun going despite being back in school in the fall.
