Dun Dun Dun...
School is starting. I have to go back to work Wednesday, and the kids start again on Monday the 23rd. It has been such a fabulous summer, though. I sure will miss Mr. Poopy Pants. It was quite hard when I went back last year, but for different reasons. I felt horrible about leaving my five month old who was so dependent on me, even though I knew he was going to be well cared for by my mom. This year, he will be with Uncle Nate two days a week, my mom two days a week, and Julie one day a week. I think he will love the variety, and will have a lot of fun with these guys. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’ll miss him like crazy. He’s become his own little person and I am going to miss seeing the new things he does each day. I’ll see them, but it won’t always be the first time he does something, says something, etc. I’ll miss Isaac, and I’ll miss Dave. Dave had to go back a couple days before me, but it’s been so fabulous having my two “boys” home with me this summer.
That being said, I do love my job, most of the time anyway. I am excited to work with a new bunch of kids. Third graders are, in general, still so excited about learning, and that really helps me enjoy it and feel good about it. So, if I must go back to work, at least it’s not a job that I dread, but rather, am proud of. In a perfect world, I could teach 2 or 3 days a week. But that’s just me fantasizing again…
On another note, we had a lot of fun in August. Isaac took swimming lessons for two weeks, and although he can’t swim per se, he is very comfortable in the water and I think if we continue working with him, he’ll start to swim – yahoo! We went to Pineview, and enjoyed the day on the beach with my mom, Aunt Mary and cousin Quentin. Forgot my camera – dang! We also did some biking together on the Rail Trail and Jordan Valley Parkway. I took Isaac to Silver Lake for a little hiking (that’s the only thing I have photos of!) and we’ve spent a lot of time with friends and family.
Things we are looking forward to in the next month? Uncle Nate and Aunt Tara’s wedding on September 4th. Dave’s 40th birthday (seriously? Did I really just type 40? OH my, this just gave me major anxiety, like I need to plan something for a birthday this big, right?) on Sept. 15. Finally, hiking to Causey Reservoir in September to see the Kokanee Salmon do their annual run.
Here are some random photos from the last month...of Isaac, of course (duh...)
Isaac at Silver Lake - throwing anything and everything off the side of the boardwalk.
Isaac looking cute and innocent after gathering our shoes, bringing them to us, attemping to put dog leashes on Abbie and Day-Z (hilariously, he knows whose leash is whose,) climbing into the stroller, and asking please? This is a trend, lately, and yes...he has us both trained now. How can you say no to that?
These bubbles are a hat, just so you know.
Trying to eat like a big boy, but 80% winds up on the floor.
Still mildly obsessed with firetrucks and firefighters.
Sorry about the weird indenting format of this post, I couldn't fix it. Ah well, I'll deal.

Oh man! Leaving that little guy seems impossible. We can share a cry tomorrow.
He is getting so big, and cracks us up. I love that little guy! I can't wait to see him again.
He's so cute!
Good luck with your new class this year!
Good Luck! I love all the pictures, he is a cutie Bec.
I'm glad you've enjoyed your time together with your boys. I can't even believe Dave is going to be 40! He doesn't look 40 at all to me, but what does 40 really look like? Best of luck with school. I hope you have a fabulous class this year!
I just can't get over how adorable he is in every picture... so fun and cute! You and Dave are lucky to get the summers to spend together, and to spend them all with your little guy too NICE!!!!!
