Labor Day has come and gone, the neighborhood pool is closed and school is starting, which means it is time to say goodbye to summer. For us the summer of 2010 was jam-packed. We…

-Welcomed a new life and marveled at our tiny miracle

-Discovered Spider-Man

-Roasted marshmallows

-Rowed in a canoe

-Visited nine states in nine weeks

-Reminisced and joked about our first-time-parent jitters when Evan was born

-Made new friends

-Cheered on our little guy as he found new independence

-Laughed

-Cried

-Longed for more sleep

-Spent time with family…

…and at least one thousand other things. It was busy. It was memorable. It went by in the blink of an eye. Even though we packed in as much as we possibly could, there were several things we didn’t get to do enough of. Next summer I hope to drink more lemonade, spend more time at the pool and read as many novels as I possibly can.

What is on your to-do list for summer 2011?
