Well, I start school in ten days! I am feeling nervous, excited and a little stressed out. Time is my main concern. This is my first time being a student and the mother of two children. The baby, although he is a year and a half, is still very much a "momma's baby." He freaks out when he is not the center of my attention! Just now I had to take a break from typing this to feed him and I really don't think he was hungry. My summer and my extended break from school is winding down quickly. I have really enjoyed my time at home just being mommy.

This summer we took a small trip to my parent's. We spent some time there with the family. While we were there my brother, sister and I had our portrait taken for my mom. She does not have a portrait of all three of us together. This was my sister's idea and I think its wonderful. We also went boating with my dad. Dad pulled my daughter and my husband in the inter-tube and we all swam in the lake. It was nice. The baby really enjoyed the water. He was so amazed at the vastness of the lake. We went to the Zoo in Tyler, as well. It was nice. It was very well shaded and we were able to see all of the animals. I was amazed at how the entire zoo was uphill! It was a nice little vacation and a nice end to my break.
