Blink.
Summer is waning. Where have I been? How did it pass so quickly? While the thermometer still screams "Summer Heat Record!"...the calendar now suggests otherwise.
We knew when we moved in late May that it would be this way. Every weekend was bookmarked and planned and reserved for some event (weddings, trips, races, etc.) and now we are in September and just when I thought we could sit back and relax...the dates on the calendar are filling in again.
I feel like life is moving at warp speed and I can't keep up. My house is a mess and not decorated or even fully unpacked, my babies are not babies any more and everyday feels like I am trying to catch up to the one before.
Liam started second (second!!) grade and already talks of going to college, having a job, getting his license and buying a car and being an architect/engineer (he has moved away from being a Pilot--now he wants to design the planes they fly. And design rollercoasters too when he has time). He loves school and knowledge and would go to class everyday if he could. He is already very smart and teeters on the brink of knowing more then I do already. It has become painfully clear to us that he is just biding his time until he can move out on his own. Our house is just a temporary holding plan in this Big Life he has planned. He tells me reassuringly, 'Don't worry Mom! Even when I am older and have my own place we'll still see each other and you can come visit anytime each of us wants!" Hmmm. I wonder if he will still feel this way 13 years from now...
Sawyer is nearly four and is happily into his Preschool 2 routine. It took him a few weeks of adjusting but he handled it fabulously. It probably took him even less time to once again amass a harem of girls. He has told me that he has been told by the teachers on more then one occasion, "We don't kiss our friends in Preschool, Sawyer". That child is a lover, pure and simple. He will squeeze me with such intensity and love that I hear his teeth grind together. He is funny and imaginative and will play for hours on end uninterrupted, if allowed to do so. He also has a wicked sense of humor for a child of only 3.75 years. Already, he knows how to get a laugh through words and mannerisms. I see "class clown" in his future.
I love these boys--all three of them--more then words can say. I once again am here to remind myself to slow down and enjoy it--craziness and all.

Hi! Found you through the mother runner site, and enjoyed reading! It's always nice to find other moms who run, as I don't know many in "real" life. :) Happy running!
Hello Laura! I have been so delinquent in my posts the past few months. Your post has reminded me that yes, I still do have a blog. You have inspired me to get back on here and write and document the moments of our crazy little life. Thanks for stopping by!
