Six weeks from today Catherine and Thomas have their first day of school...and six weeks ago today was the last. So yes, officially half way through summer. Technically, Andrew and Robert were half way finished a couple of days ago, but for me this is the marker. This is always the point where things start to fly, I always feel.
Overall, it's been a summer for which I'm very grateful. Robert has (knock on wood, almost afraid to write this) been truly a joy to be around. We've been making sure to take time to do fun things together as a family. Catherine and Thomas have been extraordinarily challenging in terms of each other, but overall I've really enjoyed the summer.
Marching band begins this evening, and honestly the freedom and carefree schedule we have is pretty much in the tank right now. I have to be there at 5:30 to help run a meeting, and I suspect I'll be there most days through the beginning of August. I don't love it, but it is what it is, and I hope it will be something that Catherine will enjoy sharing with me. Robert isn't doing marching band this year. He will only be running cross country.
In spite of how quickly I know it will go by, I am looking forward to enjoying the rest of our summer and making the memories that go with it!
