Where has the year gone?

Wow. It's been a year since I posted. I was just reading that my daughter was turning nine. Now her little brother is turning nine - in a week. Where did this year go? It was busy - chasing kids, working, hiking, chores...the good, the bad and the ugly.
This last week I watched Julie and Julia....a fun movie - gotta love Meryl Streep - I forgot that I WASN'T actually watching Julia Childs!! But the girl, Julie, who blogs throughout the movie, got me to thinking about this one - and though I only really write this as a bit of a journal for myself - I actually have to post, if I want something to come back and read!
So, this year, both my little ones have learned to swim. Both made it through another trying school year. Both have made huge jumps in maturity (yes!). My 0ldest got his first apartment all by his big self (even though he moved closer to home! **grin**). #2 son, still here....his mother is beginning to wonder about the serious signs of hoarding (**bigger grin**). #3 son graduated from college - WHERE did that time go??? And the job hunt begins! So, this momma is wondering if the house will be a bit emptier after this next year. (***biggest grin***).

And now - I just want a little break in the heat so I can go plant another letterbox!!!
