Back to Full-Time

Tomorrow Jason goes back to work full time and we being the fast-track slide toward busy busy basketball season. Bittersweet. Bitter because this summer has been one of the most fun summer's we've had since we've been married. It's funny because this summer is the first summer we haven't been an extravagant vacation (though we did get a mini getaway that was fantastic with Jason's parents!). But yet - though the vacations are an unbelievable blessing, what has made this summer so fantastic is how much time we've gotten to spend as a family - it's one I'll treasure. We had a new move, made some new friends, found a new church, and both of us have experienced tremendous spiritual growth over these summer months both individually and as a couple. It's sad to see these months end, but I literally get GIDDY thinking about the fall!! It's by far my favorite time of the year! Football season, birthdays, holidays, colder weather, beginning of basketball season...so fun. So there's the sweet part. :) And now that we live close (and this will be my first fall season as a stay-at-home-mom) I'm hopeful we still get to see plenty of Jason even through the madness.

Another thing I am super excited about is starting a Bible study class at Fellowship on Wednesday mornings called "Significant Woman." I've great things about it and am excited to see how God is going to work in/through me this fall. Granted the kids do well 2xs/week, I also hope to go to Mother Matters in Siloam again on Fridays. And on top of that, my neighbor and I have talked about starting a play group when the weather gets colder...so between those mornings and basketball evenings, we should have an eventful next few months.

And of course the guys - the greatest ministry I'll ever be a part of. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing Noah be able to play more and more with Lincoln over these next months...I'm also aware that the whole sharing/arguing issue is probably lurking around the corner. Good teaching moments...right? I feel like I have so much to learn in this next toddler phase of development with two little guys!

We're going to miss the pool when it gets cooler! It has become an after-dinner tradition. Last night we went at dark...it's always one of my favorite times to go swimming!
