After a wonderful whirlwind of a Summer Break, we've been thrown into another wonderful whirlwind of a new school year. We're back at it full force; Daddy's working hard to cram an impossible amount of information into his already-packed long-term memory, and I am bustling about the home front tending to the house, the children, the garden, the laundry, cleaning, cooking, and a bit of home-pre-schooling to boot!
(Asher is learning to trace the letters he can already recognize.)
Children are ten times smarter than we think they are!
On Riley's final day of school last year, he came home with this sweet card to celebrate our completion of such a trying (but blessed!) year...
Attending it were flowers and chocolates, of course.
He's good like that...
Inside the card were words of praise, excitement about the Summer ahead, and an unexpected gift. This Saturday we will celebrate five years of marriage, and he told me in that card his plans to whisk me away to the spot he proposed to me for an overnight getaway the weekend of our anniversary! Oh joy!
The precious drawing on my card was of the Peaks of Otter, two of the tallest peaks in the area, found in the midst of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
