It’s just about over. The 90 day of summer vacation that we never, ever thought we’d have has come and gone. We were really fortunate to get to spend 32 days on Swans Island. We had a relatively smooth move from Rhode Island back to Maryland. We kinda moved into our house, and then spent the last three weeks in Bethany Beach.

An incredible amount of time to spend together, and for both of us to get to spend with Cameron. But like any student on summer break, I got lazy. On Monday Sara starts her new job at GBMC, and I’m back to full-time dad duties. And it’s been a while! I almost never (OK, never) did my required “summer reading” from grade to grade, and this summer was no exception. I allowed Sara to take the reins from almost the minute she finished her fellowship and will probably pay for it next week. This is a new kid that I’ll be in charge of, and no amount of last minute studying will get me ready.

Since I last took care of Cameron full-time on my own, he has started eating real food. He has two teeth. He’s 99.9999999% in height and thus outgrowing just about everything under 12 months in size (he’s not quite 7 months old). He’s rolling over. And moving fast. I have my work cut out for me as we move ahead!

So one more summer weekend. A few more lazy days as a family and then we get back to the routine. I’m just not so sure I have any clue what that routine looks like anymore! Stay tuned as we start this thing all over again!
