Just A Few Days Left

In a few short days, Caleb will return to teaching and summer will officially be over for us. :(

Although I'm in LOVE with Fall, this year I'm not happy to see summer end.

Even though Caleb is a teacher, he works full-time painting houses in the summer so he doesn't exactly have the whole summer off. So, aside from our cruise and other short vacations, he really only had the last two weeks completely off.

Since this was the first summer that I wasn't working, we planned to cram in as much fun, family time as possible. Over the past week, we went swimming a few times, we had a picnic in the mountains, and we just enjoyed playing with Ellie. She especially loved playing in the backyard with our small pool and slide. Actually, she loved doing anything that involved all three of us.







I've said it many times before, but Caleb is an amazing Dad, and Elliana adores him. Their relationship is so sweet! Elliana is going to be absolutely heartbroken when Caleb returns to teaching this week. I think she'll ask for him like 100,000 times a day. Poor girl.

I'm going to miss him so much too. We'll just have to visit him for lunch as much as possible. :) Plus, I can't wait to see how Ellie does watching his Volleyball team this year.

I guess life must go on, and since we're going into my favorite time of year, Ellie and I are going to have tons of fun doing many fall things.
