Nathaniel turned 12 yesterday. How did that happen? I remember a little four year old running around here getting in to things and laughing at everything Hannah did. Now I can barely get the two of them to talk!
We had a great day at Wild Waters in Clovis. Lots of sun and fun and adventure were had by all. Micah, I think enjoyed the water park more than anyone. Mark was able to join us for 1/2 the day.
We are so thankful for Nathaniel and the young man he is turning out to be. He really matured this summer in so many ways. I can't believe he is in 7th grade now.
We are staunchly sticking to our "No school before September" rule. Although, most of our friends started school this week. I feel a little lazy when I hear everyone is else getting back in to their school routine. But we have hardly been home long enough to get in to a home routine--regular meals, laundry, music schedules, yard work. I think I need another 10 days just to get ready! In the meantime, we are trying to enjoy lazy days of summer, though mentally I have real problems with the lazy part. The kids can't find enough to do unless I come up with lots of extra chores.
As much work as school is, it is good for us. We are more organized and purposeful with our days. We are just trying not to overschedule. Too many things to fit in to a 24/7 schedule. I wonder if heaven will have longer days, or weeks. Or will it be one long day that goes on and on (No darkness, so will we have nights and days????) Maybe someone more theological than I am can answer that one.
