One last sunset together before school starts:). Phil came home, and (before he could even get his uniform off:) the three of them played football. And laughed. And cheered:). It was a nice way to end the warm nights...and usher in September. Which, if I allow myself to see past tomorrow, will be fun too! I like the freshness of a new school year. Kisses goodbye in the mornings. Chatter the whole ride home after the school day. School events. Cooler evenings. And, for the first time in six years, Phil and I will have a couple days each week just to ourselves...Which he is looking very forward to;). So am I. It will feel like we are dating again!:) So, I'm gonna tuck all the good things to look forward to in the back of my mind tomorrow. And pray I can make it back to our truck before I burst into tears. I'm glad I feel this way, though...I know we've had a good few months together...And a great fall ahead of us!
love that last photo with the sun setting!
ReplyDeleteAwww... I feel your pain for the end of summer though I don't have any little ones. :) :) Happy for the crunch of leaves though!
ReplyDeleteaw, you almost make me miss summer. Almost. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today! Loving your blog!
I hope it all goes well on the first day back at school - for everyone! Shall be thinking of you. Your photos are beautifully evocative of late summer & very evocative of what I have in my mind as wide open American country - but that's from a long-distance Welsh mountainous perspective. Thank you so much for the two-way dialogue we have across the world - it's one I really treasure. I am so glad you are all safe after Irene.

School started here (in GA) on the 4th, so I'm glad you got about a month longer than we did. I hope the kiddos enjoy the school year and I hope you'll be okay. :)
ReplyDeletesending kisses for Philly for his first day at school - I know exactly how you're feeling Krista because my baby Faith started school a couple weeks ago, it's definitely bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteso I'm also sending bosies to you (that's Scottish cuddles in case you didn't know)
and can't miss out Niamh so I'll send her some kissies too

Wonderful photos. Hope everything goes alright with Philly's first day but I know how you feel. My 5 year old daughter doesn't go back till 5th September but my 18 year old son is going to Uni on 10th September. I am totally dreading him moving away - I feel really sad, deep inside :(.
ReplyDeleteI am sure both kids will enjoy their time with friends and being a little more independent :). I know mine do.
Hugs, Mette
It's a tough one when they start school...especially the baby of the family! Jude is in P3 now and I still feel sad watching her going into school in the morning!

ReplyDeleteOh first day of school; this is the second week of my oldest going into kinder....ay ay ay it is so hard to let go; specially at the gate for me since they don't let parents walk them in anymore(tear)! But I think you will do just fine:0) but do keep that tissue handy;)
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog but hardly ever comment; I love your pictures and how you let us peek into your life; you have an amazing family and you are a wonderful person!
Sending good vibes and wishes;

Hi there, been following your blog for ages, but this is the first time I've commented. This post really tugged at my heartstrings - my little girl starts school on Friday. Can't believe how fast the last 4 years have gone let alone the summer (altho here in the UK we've not really had a good summer!), and am so sure that I'm going to cry as well! She's our only one so it's all so new and different.
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog and your pictures are just amazing, you have such a talent!
Best wishes
