Funny, I thought I'd have lost it by now...

Well the girls have been at school for a little over a week

and I have been patiently waiting for the other shoe to drop

{you know, the realization that they're both in school

and they're both growing up much too quickly

and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it}

I have pictured it so clearly, preparing myself for the pain.

I would come home from dropping them off

the silence of my home would be deafening

and grief would come over me

as I finally let go of their littleness.

It seems shoes have learned to fly

and will not be dropping.

I have been so very busy with

the things I have beens wanting to do

since...

August 2003

{Apparently 7 years is

enough time to create a list that makes you actually

glad

they're in school.}

I have goals

that actually don't have anything to do with

grade schools or

preschools or

field trips or

Girl Scouts or

Soccer

Hooray!!!

So let me catch you up on what's been going on around here

before I get back to doing

things that have waited much too long.

First, slideshows of our trip to California this summer

San Diego

The San Diego County Fair

Legoland

Sea World

San Diego Zoo

Disneyland

Well, I was planning to post picture of our camping trip to Polipoli

the first day of school

Bailey's Girl Scout Camp we put together last for last weekend

and some other odds and end pics I've been meaning to post.

But you will all have to wait

{I know, you're dying to see them :) }

because i have crashed Photobucket's site

four times

just putting together those lovely

{and huge-why can't I choose?}

slideshows.

See you soon!
