end of summer

nora,
today is my last "stay at home" day with you.  i go back to school tomorrow and i am having all sorts of bittersweet feelings.  i love my teaching job and feel so fortunate to spend all day with the greatest group of 3rd graders, but it breaks my mama-heart to leave you every morning.  i know you'll be in good hands, as your dad is staying home for the next two weeks to be with you!  he missed you so much this summer while he was working so many long days, he couldn't wait to get some daddy-daughter time.  
here are some fun pictures from the past few days at the end of our summer! 

love you for always, 
mama
