Summer Don’t Move So Fast

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley

I cannot believe that it is already the end of July.  I will be back in school too soon to even thing about (three weeks or some crazy shit like that).  I am so happy that I am not teaching this semester as it would just be too much for me with the new baby–who doesn’t believe in sleep.  This summer has been so fun and exhausting.  Minnow has become a true toddler and is so close to being a pre-schooler.  He is talking better and better and is really blossoming.  It is amazing to watch. 

Peepers is growing at an alarming rate.  I had a hat for her yesterday at the park–one that was too big a month a go in Ethiopia the now is so tight it must almost cut off circulation to her brain.  That is good that she is growing–but bad that she thinks she is too big for baby food and only wants to eat cheerios and wagon wheels.  She is going to be a trouble maker, I can tell.

I love summer and I wish it lasted longer.  We have spent a lot of time outside playing in the kiddie pools and on the swing set.  Minnow loves being outside and before I know it–it’ll be too cold to.  Life moves too fast and I wish I was awake enough to move with it.  I am already starting to miss summer and it isn’t even gone yet. 

What will you miss most about summer?

  1. I think I’ll miss camping the most. We tried last summer when Amelie was just 1 and Delilah was still a new puppy. That was a disaster. We never made it out of the driveway due in no small part to the fact that Delilah tried to committ suicide by diving into a (deep) empty pond during our walk. Then Amelie pooped all over me. All before the car was packed!This summer we almost bagged it as well–who really wants to take an almost 2 year old and a 1 month old and two dogs camping at altitude when it’s still cold at night? But we did and it was awesome and we can’t wait to do it again. I think we’ll miss it most because it might be a couple years until we can go again unless Brayson is an early walker. I’m not sure camping with a crawler would be much fun.

    I will also miss seeing all of you ladies in Portland 🙂

  3. The bright sunshine each morning that tricks me into thinking I’ve had enough sleep! The dark of winter will be sooooo hard.
