all good things must come to an end...

so that great things can begin.   what is ending you ask?  summer vacation! it ended about two weeks ago for Jason but today it ends for priss and swee.  last night before bed i was talking with the older two about their summers and what they felt was the best part of summer vacation.  hands down it was getting to see family that lives so far away.  they loved playing with cousins, and having aunts and uncles around. 
they have mixed emotions about tomorrow.  neither one of them knows a single person who is going to be in their class or even the teacher for that matter.  they are excited to go to meet the teacher tonight to see if there are any familiar faces in their classes. 
i am going to miss seeing the three older kids playing together during the day or even i am sure hearing them arguing about who's in charge. 
the summer was wonderful and i am going to miss my time with my children.  this summer gave us the chance to spend time getting to know our newest member of the family...quinnzer bee.  maybe that is why this end of summer is so much harder...i see just how fast my kids are growing up, especially as i look at our little bee.  she has changed so much since we brought her home.  i just keep singing the song with the phrase...let them be little...or your going to miss this.  i will miss this time in my life and theirs too.  i already do!
