Goodbye Summer

We've had an amazing summer, but it is quickly coming to an end. It's undeniable with the first days of school quickly approaching.

I'll be finishing up my last semester of graduate school and Maggie will be starting Kindergarten. There are big changes coming for the Crists!

These last few days I've been really focused on just being with them. 

So often now though they shoo me away from their independent play, or their play together. 

So I sat back, watched, snapped a few photos and simply enjoyed being with my children today.

Thought I'd share that joy with all of you...

"I fix your back tire mommy!"

"This my favorite tool!"
