This was a very different summer for us, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I was used to summer days full of us being home together, and me taking all the kids to several fun places a week. But this year, the three older kids were very busy going off to several camps, and then often had places they wanted to go with their friends (without me!). I know this is perfectly normal, and even good, for their ages...it's just going to take some adjusting. I did manage to sneak in a few fun things for most, if not all, of us.

Busy summer, but tons of memories.
Yes, it's a change...normal, even desirable, and ultimately inevitable...Distancing from parents is a teen's job. Gratefully it happens gradually. The up side is that you get to meet the amazing adults they will eventually become! Time to begin finding your post parent persona!
