summer 2011

this summer went by so fast. this is the summer before my little man, kainoa starts kindergarten at his sister's school. kava turned 1, and kymora's last summer before turning double digits.

we had a great summer. we swam a lot. went to the beach (finally!). lots and lots of bike rides, bbq's. went to sea world and carlsbad. movies at the park, basically lots of stuff i've been wanting to cross of my 'things i want to do w/the kids' list ;)

this year, i could only take off 1 week. luckily, muelu's schedule allows him to be home at least 3 times during the week. he really made their summer worthwhile. i'm glad one of us could do fun stuff with the kids this year.

i really am cherishing these summers with the kids, as kids. i love hearing 'mommy do you haaaave to work tomorrow?' i love that they just want to be with me. even if it's just to sit at home and watch movies and eat big sticks. that's what we do and that's what we love to do. just spend time together, laughing. next summer will be a whole different world of posts. i pay a little more attention now when people say, 'they grow fast. enjoy it'. that's exactly what i plan to do.
