Yet again, summer has come and gone. So many things happen and as I've gotten older times really does seem to go so fast. One of the best things about being a teacher is that I get to spend 2 1/2 months at home with the kids. That's also one of the hardest things too I think. If there was any way possible, I would never leave my house and just play all day with the kids. It is the best feeling in the world to be able to see my kids growing up right before my eyes everyday. They get smarter everyday. I swear, it's almost like their looks change everyday. I get happier everyday.
As I sit here and watch Adelynn sleep on the floor and wait to hear the little Brady footsteps coming down the stairs, I just realize how blessed Carly and I are. I know other people might not think so, but WE are the luckiest people in the world. Being an adult is really hard work sometimes. Our last few days have been "crazy" to say the least. But when we give Brady a big hug or snuggle Addy and give her a big kiss, it's all good again.
I'm going to miss drinking coffee from a cup and not a travel mug starting Monday. I'm going to miss being able to wear mesh shorts and t-shirts all day. Well, nevermind. That won't change but still, you understand. What I'll miss most of all is being home with my kids. So as happy and I am to start getting paid again, I would gladly trade it all in to be able to hang out with Brady and Addy all day.
Next summer will be different. The kids will be older, Carly and I will be older and my "summer beard" will be a little more gray (probably). It won't be the same but I hope it's as perfect as this summer was...
