Back After the Break

(Ryan took this photo of Galveston.)

We’re back from our annual trip to the beach, and we had a really nice time. Last year, we went in mid-August, so it was fun to get away a bit sooner this year. The boys swam all day long, and we did a little sightseeing, too. I always find it stressful preparing for and returning from a trip (all the laundry!), but we had the entire weekend once we returned, so that was a great extra break.

We all go back to our routines today, and we’ve still got over a month before school starts up again. I’ve put my store plans on the back burner until then, mostly because I’m still really busy with the boys and their schedules. It will all work out the way it’s supposed to, and I’ll have a lot more time to work on things in the fall. This year, both boys will be in school every day, so I’m trying to treasure the time I have with them now.
