Bye bye summer!

We only had 9 full weeks of summer this year. I know the teachers love the breaks during the year, but as a mom, I feel like it makes for a short summer. We packed in as much as we possibly could though.

Library magic show
Dance camp
Swimming lessons
Karate
Gymnastics
Nike volleyball camp
Ga Tech volleyball camp
Recreation volleyball
Volleyball tryouts for school
A "giving party" where the girls made lunches for underprivileged children in our town
Playdates for the littles
Sleepovers for the oldest
Many swim dates with friends
Lots of adoption paperwork
Lots of kisses and hugs
Lots of great conversations ie. Mommy, am I a Christian?

I am proud of the girls as they move on to their next year of school, new friends and new teachers. But my heart aches a little too.

Let the new year begin!
