while i was a bit wary of juggling three kids on vacation, especially one with a pretty specific schedule (read: finn), i would have to say that this might have been our best vacation yet! we had amazing weather, the kids were obsessed with the beach, jack got to play golf with the guys, everyone was well-behaved and it was all in all just a great time. perhaps being a mere 3 rows from the beach had something to do with it;)
it's no surprise that jack loves the beach, but i would have to say that this year he was more into than ever before. from the moment he woke up he was ready to get down there. he swam and dove into the waves, built many sand or drip(his favorite) castles, attempted to skim board(thank you uncle greg for the gift!) and took beach walks aplenty! there were definitely some tears on the last day. i love how much he looks forward to this trip. he knows his way around, and remembers where just about everything is!!
when we got back, we had a week to unpack and organize before school started, and while there never seems to be enough time, we were able to squeeze in a couple last days of summer pool days and get togethers.
jack met his teacher and took a school tour yesterday, and now here we are right back into the swing of things. my little boy is no longer, as i watched him get on the bus this morning for the first time with quite possibly the biggest smile ever. *sigh* time has flown by. i know he is more than ready, and i know that this is part of life, but these growing pains force me to catch my breath and hold back tears. it really was just yesterday that he was placed into my arms. i know i'm being a bit dramatic, but these moments of change are always the hardest...
i have to upload from my camera, but i have a couple random pictures;

Oh My Handsome Jack,
You are the best friend in the whole world. It amazes me We had the best vacation and it was so much fun watching you trying to use and master the skin board. You are full of energy and no matter what you do you will always be successful because you never give up.
When you want to to learn or do something new, you have endless enthusiasm and persistence. They are 2 of your best qualities.
How I admire your ability to stick with a task and your love of sports is incredible.
When we talked today about your first day of school, I wasn't surprised that you noticed the volleyball court in the playground and the first thing you said was that you can't wait to try it out. I had to LOL. You are all sports all the time.
What are we going to do when it comes time for you to pick one sport each season?
All of a sudden you are a big boy and I don't know where the time went.
We had such a great vacation and I love to think about our walks on the beach and I love that you l
like to look for treasures with
me. Maybe next year we will be able to see more starfish and sand dollars. It was pretty cool seeing the shrimp this year, too bad Daley didn't get to see them.
I just want to say that I love and miss you like crazy cakes and I can't wait to see you again.
Love you to the moon and back and infinity, xxxooo
