Farewell Summer

It’s been a busy few weeks of summer around here!  Full of appointments (12 in one week, that must be a record?!?!), trips, parties, and playdates.  I love the lazy days of summer but the last few weeks have been anything but lazy!  As the mounds of laundry, piles of dirty dishes, and scattered toys collect around the house an eagerness for the routine of school days returns.

Today was the first of school, and it will be so nice to have three hours to myself each day to organize my house, thoughts, and photo work. I’m sad to see summer end, but less so this year than years past.  We’ll definitely miss the slow mornings and carefree days. But, I’m ready for more structure in our schedule, cooler weather, fall holidays, and less housework!
