Endings and Beginnings

I am still getting my head around the fact that Van has finished preschool. Watching him grow and change and mature is a true joy. We also just finished our first successful tee ball season. Once again we saw him grow and learn and gain confidence in his abilities. And now we begin a new season...my favorite, summer. We are outside all the time. Van is riding his new big boy two wheel bike. He graciously passed down his tiny training wheels to lil brother. Zak immediately retired the trike for a chance to ride like a big boy. Tomorrow we start swimming lessons and summer camps. Summer was our first season at home with Van. We have so many wonderful memories of those first days and months. And now with great joy we get to show Zak a first summer. Not surprising to anyone, he is ready to soak up the sun and the fun.
