Just one more to go

The kids are home for the day, so just one more day.  As much as I look forward to the arrival of summer break each year, there is a part of me that is sad to see this year end.  Not only has Catherine had a fabulous year (her best one in fact), I'm not sure I'm ready for the beginning of her senior year next year.  Oh, that breaks my heart a little.  This year really has been amazing for her.  She had the best teachers I could've asked for, and her grades have been the highest year.  I can't tell you how awesome she is.

I also know that I'll never have another freshman.  Another reminder of the passage of time.  Strangely enough, this is hitting me tremendously hard.  We've had a wonderful year.  I am so in love with this time of my life, and Andrew and I have talked about how we just want to soak up everything we can about the next fourteen months. 

At the same time, school is such a struggle for Thomas, and that makes it a struggle for us as well.  He's better about working harder than Robert was, but he just can't seem to figure it out for himself either.  It's tough to watch, and tough to live with.  I know though, at the end of the day, that Thomas is going to figure out his way in life, even if it takes him a little longer than some.

For right now, I'm looking forward to making wonderful memories this summer!
