An Unofficial End

Is it really the unofficial end of Summer? Transitioning into Fall is always so bittersweet.  I'm ready for a fresh start, for the air to have a chill, for apple season and pumpkin season and for a few weekly commitments.  But, I'm not totally ready to give up lazy Summer days.  Gone are the days with no agenda, the boat rides, the beach and seeing our family almost every weekend.  Saying "Goodbye" to Summer is easier to do when I know the Apple Orchard will be waiting for us to visit and I know Summer will greet us next year with it's warm arms wide open. 

Unlike most, we are not starting school this week.  Since we played until the very end of Summer we (I) wasn't prepared to start teaching today.  So this week is all about prepping for Preschool and taking care of business like dentist appts, doctor appts, and such.  Even though we will start school (and a couple more things) next week, I know we'll still take advantage of the last warm days outside and squeeze in a few more boat rides before cold weather makes an enterance. 

And now here's a glimpse of Summer's last hurrah.

It sure does not feel like summer is over. This post almost made me cry.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
