My blogging friend M, posted this on her blog and I loved it. It's the perfect post for today.
We had the busiest summer we've ever had. In the past, summers were lazy and carefree and we spent TONS of time at the pool. This year, something was different. As my children grow older and want to go in all different directions, this is how our summers will be.
Busy. but Memorable.
