Back to School

I can't believe summer is basically over!  It went by so quickly.  After a nice 6-month break, Nate started classes up again yesterday.  He's taking classes that will count towards his Masters degree if he gets accepted, so they will be more intense than what he's used to.  He's excited though, and it feels good to be moving forward again.  I'll admit I'm always a little jealous when he starts class....I miss being in school!  Someday I'll go back.

Cameron starts Kindergarten next Wednesday.  We went and met his teacher and saw his classroom today.  He is SO excited and ready to be back in school too.  He loves to learn and be with his friends, and his busy personality thrives on routine.  We finally cleaned up his shaggy hair, and he looks all grown up now.  Putting my baby boy on a bus next week is going to be weird.  I hope he sits still and is kind to his friends and says please and thank you.....I pray so hard every day that I'm teaching my children well and that they are truly learning the things that I have spent 5 exhausting years so far trying to teach them!!

Claire seems to grow more every day, slow down!!  The rolls just keep piling on her!!  Nate and I think she is looking more and more like Cam.  She's been starting to fuss a little more in the evenings, which makes for an interesting bedtime routine when Nate's not home!  But on the flip side, during the night, she sleeps 4-5 hour stretches and always goes right back to sleep, so I can't complain!  My "Claire" tag for my necklace arrived today from Sarah Taylor.  Love that.  I will save my "TBA" tag for #4! :)

ooh, that picture of Cam and Claire is to die for! Do you think your kids look like you or Nate? I can't tell. They all seem like a Nate and Arn mash-up. Narney
