Summer is ending...

I never thought I would be glad to see summer come to an end but I am. It will be nice to get back into a routine with school and everything. Tyler goes back to school on Monday and then it is crazy life for the next four months. He will be going to school full time and working full time. Needless to say, we won't be seeing much of him but once this semester is over then no more working and going to school. It will be so wonderful. Hallie is going through such a wonderful phase right now. She has started talking back and trying to get her way with everything. Sometimes it can be very frustrating but I am learning that prayer works better than anything. It must be so hard for her right now thinking that she is big and wanting to do everything that we do as adults but learning that she can't. She really is such a wonderful daughter and trying to be so good.
Annie is also going through different stages and getting so big. She is really starting to talk and loves to say the names of everyone in the room. She said "elephant" the other day and it was as clear as anything. She loves animals and is really good at making all the animal noises. Of course her favorite is the elephant and tiger. Other than that, we have a pretty laid back life right now.

You are always so positive! I love how you understand why Hallie is frustrated. You are such a wonderful Mom and such a great example to me! I know what you mean with Tyler going back to school, and never getting to see him. Tyson starts school next week and he is still in scouts, and has been working 10-12 hour days for the last week and a half. Yikes! I can't believe how much Annie is talking! I'm so jealous!
