A Summer of no regrets

Next week at this time, my kids will be in school preparing for another year of learning. They will have left behind the summer of moving, adventure, and fun and moved into the new grade level.

For the last few years our lives have been in flux and have not been settled. It was unknown what was going to happen and preparing for many different possibilities.

This summer was different the possibilities became realities. It wasn't about asking the question of what if, it was the the what if's becoming memories.

Going to Joni and Friends camp was something I had put off for the last 3 years. I was out voted this year and we went as a family. The memories and the relationships that came out of this experience will stay with us throughout the year.

The triathlon has brought us many new friends, possibilities, and physical help with our home. This experience was such a huge part of the summer and opened up our eyes and minds to the possibilities Kyle can do.

Kyle throwing out the first pitch at the minor league baseball game was also a memorable moment. This was the first game we had ever been to as a family.

As we look back on this summer we will remember the moments that we spent together, the work that was done on our house. The people who supported us in so many different ways and the joy of being together. All of this before our first family canoe trip.
