Justin

Justin is going home to California today. It's the earliest he's ever left us because his new school starts classes at the beginning of August - it's one of those crazy year round California schedules, but the good news is that we''l have longer Xmas and Spring breaks.

I can't say enough about what a great big brother Justin has been. He has gotten up early with Sawyer almost every morning, dressed him, fed him, played cars with him, chased him around the yard and watched his favorite movies. He's also helped with Arden, feeding her a bottle, putting her down for a nap, picking her up when she's fussy. The babies really couldn't have landed themselves a better big brother.

We are keeping our fingers crossed for him as he starts his first year in middle school, going from being the biggest kids in the school to the littlest, it's always a tough transition. We can't wait to see him again at Christmas.
