As summer begins to wind down I am delighted to post that this has been one of the best ever, but not because of any big trips, weddings, reunions or "usual" occasions of the season. Instead this has been a summer of new beginnings and changes. Max and Avery have moved on to the center and are thriving. Zoe is enjoying a season of freedom as we have the option to do just about anything we want on any given day. Also, Mike and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary next week. We are not doing anything exciting, just relishing in the life we have created for our family.
The little things have cumulatively made this a summer to remember. Max will now go to the park without tantruming if anyone else wants to use the swing. Avery has moved up to the big swing and is even trying to pump her legs. Zoe has even mastered the monkey bars. Most importantly though, is the fact that we can do this together. We have had to take separate trips with the girls for almost 2 years now. I am so grateful that we are back to the family adventure and we can travel as the pack we aspire to be. Max is even swimming in the kiddie pool in the backyard while the girls are outside with him. This little thing is a huge thing for our family. The social successes Max is acquiring are slowly trickling down to the rest of us and it warms my heart in a way that is inexplicable.
So as the summer of 2010 comes to a close in a few weeks I can look back and see this as a season of monumental change for the Lewis family and I look forward to the months ahead and the many adventures in the works.
