Dear Summer...please don't end...







As I write this, summer is coming to a close. In three days, our life will go back to the hectic routine of work, preschool, dance, and running from here to there. I am sad that summer 2010 will be over but I look forward to the school year starting up. I LOVE setting up my classroom and getting a fresh group of students. I LOVE fall, football, Halloween, cool evenings on our deck, and the excitement of Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, the ending of summer is bittersweet. As much as I love the idea of having a routine again and the exciting things of fall, I will miss the lazy summer mornings, trips to the pool, our many playdates, Bella and Mommy time (while T sleeps), and cooking my favorite girl a fried egg every morning and my little man scrambled eggs. Ahh, the frozen pancakes will come out and the juice cups will be poured the night before...thus making the school year begin.

I am thankful for many things this summer but here are the top ten things:
1-Spending EVERY day with my little man and sweet little girl.
2-Seeing the smiles on their faces when we went to the beach all those time this summer.
3-Celebrating a special 2nd birthday with Thomas.
4-Seeing my two play together and giggle with each other.
5-Seeing two sleepy little faces every morning and hearing all about Bella's crazy dreams (that girl sure has had some dreams...) :)
6-Our McDonalds playdates with friends.
7-Seeing my baby girl not wear her swimmys and swim like a big girl (with her new swim vest).
8-Hearing Thomas really talk to me and express his feelings.
9-Staying up late with my sweet hubby...and watching all our addictive TV shows ;)
10-HAVING a WONDERFUL husband and two AMAZING children that have thanked me for what I have done for them and told me CONSTANTLY how much they love me. Those words never get old.
So, as I wrap up the summer of 2010, I go back to work feeling loved and looking forward to all of the adventures that this school year will hold AND I look forward to the summer of 2011 and what adventures we will have then.
Summer...until next time...

Ok...I do love to blog but I am terrible at it!!! :) I LOVE to go on and check other people's blogs and then have intentions of working on mine until something else happens and I just don't update. SO, I am updating now. :)
Summer, oh sweet summer! How I have enjoyed my summer break with my babies. We have had the best time swimming, having playdates, going to camps, and just having FUN. I am probably going to cry my eyes out when August 11 comes around but that's okay because the countdown to next summer will begin! :) I can't believe how much my babies are growing and changing. Everything they do/say amazes me a little more each day. I love hearing Isabella's thoughts and seeing her grow and change. She is really growing up fast and she amazes me with her memory and how she really soaks up life! Thomas is my little SWEET man! I fall more and more in love with him everyday. He is full of life and reminds me so much of his daddy. I looked back at when I started this blog and the first several posts that were made. Some of those posts include one of if not the scariest time of our life. I can't believe the little guy that we typed about is a BURST of two year old energy now. I thank God everyday for giving us our little man. :)
Ahh...as I write we are preparing to go to the beach with the Hudson clan. I look forward to our time at the beach every year. I can't wait to share pictures from the trip. Maybe I will be better at blogging....we'll see.... :)

Easter Pictures






Well..we had an amazing Easter and Spring Break at the Hudson house. We dyed eggs with my precious grandmother and sweet family, we attended Easter service at my home church, ate a wonderful lunch and had a fun Easter egg hunt with all of the Metts family cousins. After Easter, I was fortunate to spend a week at home with my babies. We had play dates, went to the zoo (with the rest of the world), played, played and played and planted our first garden full of veggies for this summer. We had a wonderful week and this mommy is counting down the days until I get to spend the summer with my babies!
