School starts back in 2 weeks - seriously?!

I can't believe it is already August. WOW! C.J. and Chris are going to be Freshman this year. Bigger WOW with a loud gasp!! I remember going to my Freshman Orientation thinking I had the world at my fingertips and I was ready for whatever adventure the world would give me. Now I am a parent.
C.J.'s leg continues to heal up pretty well, but the doctor gave us a heads up that basketball in the fall was very unlikely since he doesn't have full range of motion yet in his foot/ankle.
Owen is becoming more and more like a monkey. He now climbs into his bed and on anything he can get his toes onto. He is wild! But in an absolutely adorable way. His favorite words right now is "Mine" and "No!". Very passionately too.
Chris is still playing the violin and is actually going to audition for the Louisville Youth Orchestra. We are pretty proud of him for his dedication to his talent.
We just got back from Fripp. Our vacation was wonderful. We went with some dear friends of ours, the Connelly's. I think they fell in love with Fripp as well. Of course not as much as Nick and I love Fripp - but that is not possible for anyone. I thought this Fripp trip would be hard since this was the first trip after losing mom. But it was actually really nice. We stayed busy having fun. I think I spent more time in the ocean this year than what I ever did with all trips combined. Hehe! I am so much of a pool girl. But since we have the pool at home, I thought I would venture out. The weather was great but we had a lot of overcast on most days. But that made it easier for us not to burn.
We had only been back maybe a week when we booked our next vacation - To DIsney. Yeah! In September. We are so pumped Vacations are wonderful and we highly recommend them to everyone. Renews the spirit and mind.
Nick just had eye surgery on Friday. So right now he is very uncomfortable and has a huge sensitivity to light. Poor guy. But he should no longer need glasses.
School is getting very hard on me. I still love it but in the summer we are going non stop and studying seems to keep getting moved down on the priority list. Which is reflecting in my test scores. I got a B - and one C this semester. Yikes!
School is right around the corner and with that our life will get back on schedule - hopefully. I like the structure that the school year gives. I LOVE the freedom of summer, however when I am in school myself, I need the structure!
Well, I hope if anyone reads this, you have had a wonderful summer filled with many memory making times. Capture those moments as you dream of tomorrow. That way when tomorrow comes, you have happy memories of yesterday.
