Just One More Day

Tomorrow will be our family's final day of summer vacation. Our two oldest sons start school bright and early on Wednesday morning. (Kindergarten for the five-year-old and preschool for his younger brother.) I feel like September has suddenly leapt upon us. Where did the summer go? Is it fall already?

Our family has been away from home a lot over the past week or so. The kids are all out of routine and have not been sleeping terribly well. The baby is especially thrown off. (The poor little guy's been fussing and crying most of the evening because he's so tired.) I'm afraid this week we'll require a major reboot in the areas of discipline and routine.

I'm taking a deep breath and trying to enter the upcoming week with a brave face. Our babies are going to school! I can't believe it's actually happening. Our family is entering a whole new season.
