Summer flies

As the summer of 2010 flies by~ oh my heart aches for all the past summers of my children being little! My 18 year old is on a Missions trip to Mexico and though I'm happy for her I am also ready to know she is safely back in the good ole' USofA!! We didn't make a lot of goals for summer, just one big one RELAX! It goes by quick enough no matter what. I have a few good friends I need to catch up with, I need time with my momma to shop and laugh - oh and eat! We like the bookstores! I want to stroll my grandaughter Paisley and ride my bicycle. I love to go on picnics with Landon and the beach with the rest of them. I bought a new collapsable picnic basket from Target- need to put it to use. The weather has been good - I need to soak up some vitamin D but today looks like rain. But it smells good outside!
Ryan turned 27 , Mallory 24- where have the moments gone? I just can't grasp enough of my kids life. My Mom must feel like that too. You have to create your own life because it hurts when they don't need you as much as you want them to. At least for a mom, I think a dad is really different. I'm 46 but not a very big girl at times! Haha- like a baby whining for attention! So- I stay busy, I have a lot of things I like to do. I have been losing weight, Yoga and crunches and riding bike or gettin' on the treadmill.
My life is sweet- precious and I give God the Glory for all He has blessed me with. I want to soak up summer and stare at their little faces, I want to keep memories of every phase and wonder they have. I am thankful for memories I have. My kids are the absolute greatest, I mean they show the campassion and love for life that I wanted them to, all four of them! we have done a great job, God, Greg and I! Oh yeah!!!!
