I have had a wonderful summer. I have been home all summer and it has been wonderful. Chloe has been to MDA camp! She had a blast. Conner went to scout camp! He did NOT have a blast! Poor guy! He definitely grew me as a mom that week! He sent me to a place of constant prayer. Just made me think...he was on my mind constantly. And I was constantly praying for him. Every little bit, I'd say a quick prayer. And if I did that for him...why don't I do that on a regular basis about everything in life? I think I get so busy that I don't stop and pray about the little things that most likely make the greatest difference. I think I shall work on that!!
We have enjoyed the pool this summer as well! Krisann has even learned to move around in the pool! It's amazing how fast she learns! She's going to be so smart just because she learns from the two big kids!! And they are quick to try to help her learn whatever.
House has been on the market so I've spent a good bit of summer keeping my house clean. Hasn't showed very much though. I had hoped that God would sell our home quickly but have about decided that we are in the exact place God wants us. So construction is about to get underway in a month or so I hope at the Smith house. I'm ready to get it done and get us all settled!!
The rest of my summer has been spent potty training! I so wanted to get Krisann potty trained during our break from school. Can't say we are totally there yet but she is wearing big girl panties and doing pretty good. We still have accidents on occasions but that is to be expected!
The emotional status around here this summer has gotten a whole lot better too! We are beginning to find fun again and things are beginning to feel somewhat normal after quite a difficult season. So thankful for that!
Now...I guess it is time to get back into school routine. Next week, I hope to begin a few things with full school days the following week. Trying some new curriculum this year so I'm a bit nervous about that! And of course, it will be different for Krisann as well when we go back to school. I think I am going to have a harder time getting back into routine than the big kids will. I have enjoyed my leisurely summer. I have even been sleeping late! So I think I'll even have to set my alarm for awhile until I get back into routine. Guess it can't stay summer forever...but sometimes I wish it could!
