schools out!

it's hard to believe school is already out for summer. i don't know whether to rejoice or cry!

it's such a funny thing. before she started school i couldn't believe she wasn't going to be spending her days with us everyday. but also the sound of 5 hours with just one kid sounded like a vacation. then i started to think about the one on one time it would allow me to have with blake. and suddenly, i found myself sad today. not that she was done with school for awhile but that my one on one time with blake was no longer a regular thing. our sweet new baby will be joining us when school starts. i know i will cherish our days together like i did with blake, but i just wasn't prepared for it to end so suddenly. my biggest fear with having 3 children is making sure they all get the quality time they deserve. avery by default probably gets the most right now because she is older. we go out for date nights and dinners together and we both love it. she's old enough to get her nails done and sit down at dinner and actually enjoy it. she knows and wants the one on one. i'm really looking forward to the summer with the two of them. if blake was given the choice of hanging out with me or avery he would definitely chose avery. avery hasn't changed much this year in her appearance but her personal, social, and academic growth is apparent! she is such a sweet girl and loved her teachers so much! i am beyond grateful for this school year and do not have one complaint.

a trip down memory lane from the first day of school.

and this one makes me laugh. when stepped outside and because it was so humid my lens fogged up immediately. she turned to the side when we started and said take a picture of the baby in my belly! it doesn't get much funnier than this!
