"Lovin' summer, happened so fast."



My Sister,Cindy, and I enjoying the lake at her house.


Camryn and my Cousin Robert resting on the boat.
Aidan's beautiful hair blowing in the wind on Lake Huron.... This morning at camp, all smiles!!







It's hard to believe it's been a month since my last post.
Last ummer seemed to drag on endlessly, and this year I barely have time to breath. We made it to Michigan and back, had friends visit from Cleveland, and (drum roll please..... cut off Aidan's hair). For the record, it was all his doing, his idea, his triumph when I finally gave in and said yes. I really didn't think he would do it when it came right down to it. He did, and I long for it back every day. He looks so grown up. Which brings me to today. Aidan left for camp this morning. What kind of mother sends her 7 year old off to camp? The kind who thought we'd all need a break by now. The truth is, I wanted to stay and enjoy camp with him. It looks like so much fun. He didn't shed a tear, barely had time to hug us good-bye. I'm not sure what to worry about for the next four days. I have two hands and only one child. Maybe my house will finally be a little cleaner. Probably not. I usually wait for the next rainy day, and the pool is calling today. I think I'm just going to take a deep breath and enjoy only having to put sunscreen on one child. Oh gosh, I hope someone reminds Aidan to wear sunscreen!

  1. I thought that was a picture of Camp Chandler! Wheeler went, I felt the same way. At least Aidan is 7 and not 6. wheeler had a ball. Aidan will too. It is a happy place, you will love the end of the week ceremony.

  2. I don't think we are bad parents for sending our kids off to camp, I went to camp when I was a kid and LOVED IT!! I just want my kids to experience something that great. Granted, I wasn't 6 when I went, I was 10 but Wheeler begged and begged. I'm glad I sent him, he can't wait to go back. It is really good for them.
