The temperature has started to drop, the really hot days seem to be over. And soon, our beach evenings will be over as well. I took the kids tonight, and despite the water being pretty chilly, they decided to ‘swim.’ The evenings are getting darker earlier, and with the start of school, the rush and bustle is well underway. So I’m relishing the quiet moments we can still enjoy outside with the sounds of the gentle waves lapping onto the sand.

School seems to be going very well for the two older kids. Big E tells me about his new friends and some of the things that they do in class. It’s a whole new world for him, but so far he is still excited to wake up and go each morning!
