Can anyone else believe that summer is almost over? Where did it go? For me, it's been a fast and slow summer. Waiting for a baby to come and move right afterwards was probably the longest part of my life so far. And that's saying something. Everyone knows how slow time goes with your firstborn. Then after the move, it's gone by pretty fast. Well, when Steve has been home.
It feels weird not be going back to school. Not like I've done that anytime in the last 3 years, but Steve was going to school. And even though he graduated in December, so we've had a few months of the school year where we weren't in school, it just feels almost wrong, not to have someone going to school.
Part of me wishes that Jake was going to school already, but he's not old enough. And I think, even if he was, he's not ready. He's having a hard time letting go and going to Primary. I don't know if it's the move (probably is) or the new baby or what, but he just freaks out whenever we try to drop him off. The first week we went to church, we just left him, and he did ok. We were sick the second week and didn't go, then the third week he wouldn't let Steve leave him at all. This last week, he let me leave him after about 10 minutes and was good after that. We're hoping that next week he'll just go to class without us. So, from this, we know that he is not ready. He really needs another year to mature emotionally and just get use to this new place. I know how it is to move and have to start a new school without knowing anyone. It's not very fun and it's very scary.
So fall is around the corner. I don't know about you, but always makes me think that it's a new year. More so than January. Maybe it's the years for starting school now that makes me feel this way. And half of me wishes I was going back to school. Back to high school. I loved and hated high school. But it was still fun (for the most part). Maybe that's why I want to teach high school. I wish I was closer than I really am to getting my degree and being able to teach. I think I would make a great teacher. Maybe someday I'll be able to go back to school and get everything done so I can teach.
Anyways, good bye August (my favorite month off all, probably because it's my birthday month!) and hello September. This year is going by so fast. Really it is. Even though I was pregnant for most of year, it's flown by. I wonder what September will bring? Hopefully my husband, I really hate it when he's out of town.

Sara, I read back through some of your recent posts. I hope you are starting to feel more comfortable in our ward. I'm kind of on the opposite end of things from you, as far as raising a family but it was fun to see we have some things in common. I have a little grandson about 8 days older than Teage. His mom (our daughter Danielle) is also on the Quatama Sisters Blog list- "Forever Young". Also, I notice you are a Harry Potter and Twilight fan. Me too. In fact, when New Moon comes out in Nov. you are welcome to join us for a girls night at the movies. Also, if you're ever in need of an extra hand during sacrament meeting, I would be happy to help. Garth works on an ambulance in Mollala on Sat. nights and doesn't make it back in time for sacrament mtg. So I'm kind of a loner at least until January. Anywho, I'm rattling on. Hang in there with getting to know the girls in our ward. There are some really sweet sisters your age. :)
For what it's worth -- I think Jake had or is having a hard time with Steve being gone during the week. And it sounds like he is getting adjusted to it. Hopefully the "Daddy" calender I sent will help. And he probably does need this year to get adjusted to the move, Daddy being gone, new people, etc. He is such a smart boy, you never know what he is thinking. Maybe you could try some special time with him. Say after Zoe and Leo go to bed (remember our chats at night); cuddle and ask him if he wants to talk about anything, encourage him and comment on how things went that day. Maybe Jake I am proud of you for helping with ???? ; them It makes me sad that ???? happened. After all he is now the MAN of the house with his Daddy gone. I know you will figure something out. I love you all and miss you all. See you sometime next week.
Mom
