the lump

As much as I think I am ready for school to start, I have had these twinges of sadness for the last few days that summer is almost over and that Lindsey is going to be gone all day starting next week. It has been nice sleeping in, doing fun things, or doing nothing, yet we do need to get back into a routine that school inevitably brings. Nonetheless, like my friend Courtney said recently, that lump in my throat is starting to surface. I don't know why. I guess because another school year ticks off another year of life, and I just miss my baby girl when she isn't with me... she is growing up so fast. Everytime I tell her that I want to freeze her as a little girl, she tells me "no, that is not the way God wants it to be." That is a direct quote. I know, I know....I can still think it though....
