Holly's last week of school and the beginning of our summer are approaching and I thought I was ready for both.
Holly has loved Kindergarten but I have to admit a little summer break is needed by me. I miss having her around. The only problem is that once she graduates from kindergarten she will be moving on to first grade. I don't think I can handle it. Kindergarten was fine. She was away only half the day. She had a small part of her life that was not shared by me. Now she will be gone all day from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. There will be other people who are a huge part of her life and I can't manually screen them or stand up for her when someone is mean. I know I need to let go a little more. It is a good thing we don't have to completely let our kids out on their own until they are 18. I can already tell each year is going to be a growing pain for me. Boy do I have a lot of growing to do.
Summer.
I have been excited to go on our adventure since this fall when we found out which company we were working for. This is a whole new place that I have never experienced. Holly, Sam, myself and sometimes Rob will get to explore and play in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The only problem is I am now starting to get nervous. I know nothing about Minnesota. I have a difficult time keeping Sam from running away in Provo where I have spent several years of my adult life. What do I do when he runs away in the land of a thousand lakes?
Oh well I am not going to dwell on how scary change is for me. I think that I will just invest in a good leash.

I was just talking with Brittany about having to send our kids to school. (You know, homeschooling is always an option.) ;)
You're going to have so much fun in Minnesota! Just remember, you have your jogging stroller...so if nothing else, you can strap him in. :) I definitely can't wait to hear all about your adventures!
Ah! Two things. Nope three.
First I'm glad I found that you have a blog! And now I'm searching for your email address.
I can totally relate to the letting go thing. I would never have understood that until I had John, but I even had a hard time with nursery. Things were going to happen to his life and I wasn't going to be there to see it! I am so glad he's not even two yet. I have a little time to get used to the idea of school.
Third, my mom sent me a "backpack" leash before my trip out here to CT. It came in handy at the airport for sure! Although, John fell a couple of times because of the yank of coming to the end of the leash. Sam is a little better on his feet. I definitely recommend it :0)
