Memorial Day Weekend Already

Hard to believe that the unofficial start of summer begins this weekend. Memorial Day came up pretty quickly this year. With it brings the end of the school year which I am not looking forward to as much this year. Usually, I love the start of summer, because schedules are very relaxed and I don't have to get up so early every morning. This year it is a different feeling because Casey is graduating from high school and I know that this is her last real summer at home as school will keep her pretty busy. Greg is graduating from 8th grade and will be busy during the summers with sports and other activities. I'm feeling pretty old these days.
The school year is winding down as we are busy going to activities at school. Greg had his last band concert the other day and because he isn't doing band in high school, it is probably the last time we see him on stage playing percussion. Greg's baseball season finished with 2 tough losses, but overall it was a very good year. He really liked the coach and enjoyed playing. Casey is finishing her senior projects and winding down her high school career. As we are finishing high school, she is getting inundated with materials from Dartmouth and things to fill out and return. She is getting excited about college and I'm so happy for her. A lot of her classmates are staying nearby, and while I would like to have Casey around all the time, it is good that she is wanting to stretch her wings.

Here's to summer - hope it's an exciting and productive one.
