Gearing up...to wind down

In just over 24 hours this house will officially be on break...and I just can't wait!!!  Two full weeks of mostly down time seems almost two good to be true!

I also acknowledge that this really could be the end of times like this.  Our summers have become more scheduled with summer swim as well as Robert's job (and Catherine's will follow in years to come, then Thomas and so on).  Even if we don't grant Robert the privilege of swimming next school year, Catherine almost certainly will and the swim schedule STINKS.  Over break they practice Monday-Friday at 8AM and then again at 6PM.  I shouldn't dread it a year in advance, but I kind of do.  I am aware that days on end of unscheduled family time can't be taken for granted, and it isn't limitless.  I know that even with two weeks stretched out before us right now, there will still be commitments and obligations, and it won't all be cheery and gleeful.  However, I plan to enjoy every single minute that I possibly can!
