just breathe

Deep breath in.  Deep breath out.  Deep breath in.  Deep breath out.  two weeks from today.  Deep breath in.  Chase goes to kindergarten.  Deep breath out.  He still seems to be perfectly fine with it all. Mommy, however.  not so fine.  I really thought I would be handling this better with the second child. WRONG!  so now I'm realizing, it doesn't matter that we've done this before with another child.  This child....this sweet boy, with beautiful blue eyes, who loves hugs and sports equally, and who is one of the coolest kids I know....this child....I've never had to let him go.  So it's like doing it all over again for the first time.  And I'm counting down the days.  My life will be drastically different 2 weeks from now. And we will find a new groove....we will adjust and everyone will survive the transition.  But until we find that groove........Deep breath in.  Deep breath out.  :)

Chase still is my best kitchen helper.  We love to suit up in our aprons and whip up some tasty treats.

Jack has had an excellent sweet corn year.  We are loving fresh corn each night from the garden!

Jack is also my little fish.  He loves the water and would swim all day long if he could.  And he really loves when he gets to swim with all the big guys who can launch him into the air.  I remember loving when my dad would launch me.  How fun it is to be 7 years old!!

Happy Wednesday!
