Eric and I are back from Chicago. We had an amazing time together, it was really good for the two of us. Because we decided to camp we were able to exercise and cook some of our own meals. We had time to relax and spend time talking without interruptions from little boys. And the best part--Mike and Lianne are married.
It was good to hug and kiss Riley and Trey. Good to read to them tonight before bed. They had a great time with Nana and Papaw.
Now, a new week. Time to put the boys summer clothes away and figure out what they need for fall. I get really stressed when it's time to do this every new season. It's a huge hassle to pack clothes away and dig through boxes of old clothes. And, it's a lot of money.
Riley also starts soccer this week. Eric and I spent a lot of time talking this weekend about how he's grown up and somehow we missed it. It really seems like it happened so quickly--suddenly this fall his interests are different, his vocabulary is different, everything. He even said "whatever mom" when I told him to put his shoes away last week. And then at the same time he's so little, still a mama's boy, still my baby. Sometimes when I think about how much I love him and Trey it almost hurts.
