Thirty Days

I hate to set panic in the hearts of my children

but we only have thirty days left of summer.

YIKES!

Today's UPS delivery is a sure sign that school is approaching all too quickly

New uniforms for everybody!
The school has a new plaid this year....Claire thinks it is adorable!

We inventoried our polo shirts from last year and had to fill in some gaps.
They do show their wear after a school year!

Next week we'll be off to Target and Walmart for school supplies before it is crazy busy.

And joy, joy, joy. . .
We have planned a very last minute and spontaneous trip to Skidaway Island, Georgia
to visit Amma and Tata before school starts, too!

We're so excited to have this time with them.

It will be a full day's drive from Houston to Skidaway (outside Savannah)
through new country for all of us!  The kids are pretty excited for a long road trip.
{We'll see how long the excitement lasts!}

But once we're there, we know the days will be long and relaxing.
It is so beautiful there along the inter-coastal waterway.

We're making plans for walks to the marina, swimming at the club, bike rides, golf, dinners on the patio
hoping for glimpses of the marsh's wildlife and maybe even a walking tour of Savannah!

So, we only have thirty days left, but we're going to make the most of them!

This year is going to be awesome.  It is a BIG year for all of us.
Meredith will be a senior (sigh) and David starts preK (sigh)....
Peter will be a freshman and Charlotte advances to middle school.
Claire is excited for third grade!

And mom has a new adventure beginning soon as well.
More on that another time!


Hope you are enjoying the last bit of summer where you are!
