Dear Kid,

Is it just me, or did summer just take a huge step forward?

To me, summer seems like a rollercoaster. June chugs along at a reasonably slow if steady pace, with lots and lots of time left to go. July 4th is the summit, where we take a deep breath before plunging headlong into a race to September.

Take a deep breath—the speed of summer is accelerating. DearKidLoveMom.comJust a week or two ago we had all the time in the world. Now, splat! The wind is flying past our faces while we wonder how we are ever going to get all the summer things done before the end of summer.

On the plus side, I’ve seen the Minions movie, so I can check that off the to-do list.

And Dad has more than half the mulch down. We’re really way ahead of things this year.

Take a deep breath—the speed of summer is accelerating.

Love, Mom

P.S. Happy 7/7/17
