Oh La ...

The last few days of vacation are dwindling away. Bailee is trying to cram in as much playing as possible. I'm trying to finish projects. Diana is already in the thick of things, so she's a lost cause. It is hard to let go of summer and the freedom it brings. The chaos of summer does make one yearn for the routine of the other months though. I hate to admit it, but it's true. Those more respectable and regimented months have their own special charm ... and after a few months of rolling about in all that summer offers one can get a little sick of it. The time has come, and though I'm trying to hang on to the fun, it feels right to be going back.



Bailee had a visit from the two sixth grade teachers who will be working with her this year - Mrs. Perry and Ms. Lawrence. They're meeting their students and bringing them packets about sixth grade. I am very impressed. This is the nice part about smaller schools in a small geographical area.


Diana is off to Back to School Night. She has to work from 6:00 to 8:30 or later. Another one of the upaid demands which districts make. We will attend the one at Bailee's school tomorrow.


Tomorrow is also Bailee's twelfth birthday. It is really hard to grasp the fact that she is now a young woman. She has been such a joy in our lives.
