There is so much I want to accomplish as a mother. I was reminded of this tonight as I watched a video of a friend of mine's children dancing...and they were really good. It made my heart feel happy and sink at the same time. I was so happy and impressed for my friend that she was able to help her children find a talent they enjoyed and develop it at such a high level. Sad because I feel like I have not been able to follow through with a lot of what I had planned to do when I became a mother. I am not even sure what that plan looks like anymore.
I know we are happy and I know we have made so much progress individually and as a family but I feel the wind changing a little bit. I am ready for more. I am eager to have a child practicing the piano, and a little Spencer ready to go to his basketball game. We tried Karate for Grant but it was just too much. His practice was 4 times a week and in his words, "so inconvenient." :) That kid makes me laugh.
I cherish our time together as a family and can't wait to spend some of that time cheering each other on. So bring on the church ball, piano lessons, basketball, and zumba...we're ready! This fall will be a good time to carve out some time for a few new activities at our house. But for now we will enjoy our summer schedule (that we have yet to keep) of exercise in the morning, chores , and then a little pool time. We love our pool time. So here's to a great summer having fun with friends and family and preparing for a little more this fall. :)
