The beginning

Tomorrow starts the beginning of grad school. Orientation at least. Deep breath...ready or not here I come.

We're HOME!

Vacation went well except for one minor incident. 

Coach took Claire to the pool. All was well until he remembered his cell phone was in the pocket of his swimsuit! So, needless to say, the cell phone did not recover.

We have since replaced said cell phone. This is the second cell phone in Coach's possession that has ended up in the water. When they start making waterproof cell phones, I will be the first one in line!!

Other than that, we all came back relaxed with too much fudge in our bellies! 

Vacation

We are on a well needed, over-deserved vacation. We are at Mackinac. It has threatened rain but so far the sun has prevailed. I love vacation and wish I could freeze time. I know that in a few short weeks school is looming. I'm not ready to send Claire back. I like spending time with her and summer seems to fly by too quickly. Also, this year I'm a little nervous about starting school again.

Mostly it's just because when we're busy time seems to just tick by without second thought. I like lazy afternoons where time can be savored. I like vacation for that reason.
