50 days of summer

Today marks the end of my summer break.  I'm back to work today, gearing up for a new school year --- a very new year for me as I'm back in the classroom again.  I'm looking forward to this new adventure but it's a bittersweet feeling, leaving behind my fun and relaxed days of summer with Nora.  I am so thankful for the time I had with her this summer.  I saw so much happen - she learned to crawl, started babbling more, began eating finger foods, started pulling up on furniture, tackled climbing stairs, sprouted her first tooth.  I was there for it all and am lucky to have a career that allowed me the time to experience this.  We had lots of fun reading books, playing with toys, swinging, going on playdates, attending story time at the library - it was definitely a busy and fun-filled summer.

On my first day off for the summer, I made the decision I was going to take a picture every weekday we were home together.  At the end of last week that totalled 50 days {weekdays}.  Thanks to the ease of a phone with a camera, I was able to snap pictures while we were both at home and on the go.  I have compiled them all together...a pretty fun to document our summer together and the experiences we had.

Take a look and you'll see why I've been very absent from the blog this summer.  I wouldn't have done it any other way.
