For my birthday several years ago Nate gave me a wipe-off calendar that I just love.  It is my solution to being too clumsy to own a palm pilot or an iphone (besides the fact that I'd drop it, I've also just never been interested in one… Nate can't believe I reject such wonderful technology!)  I am lost each new month, however, until I've wiped off and re-wrote the days and our plans.  So tonight I was changing the calendar, and as I was wiping off May I realized I was wiping off Zach's preschool days, never to write "Aldrich" on the calendar for him again!  (The last day of school was a little crazy and so it's taken me until now to get nostalgic…)  I can't believe he will be a kindergartner this fall.  He is super excited, although he told me he is glad for summer vacation so he can play baseball all day and not have school while the weather is nice.  But it is crazy – as I erase the days from the beginning of the month I can't believe so much time has passed since then – Emma's dance performance seemed like yesterday and it wasn't long ago Carter was only 4 weeks old!  In my wiping away of months Zach has gone from a baby to a kindgergartner – and before I know it Emma will be one, and so will Carter!  I am always amazed at how quickly time passes.   (the photos are of Zach's wonderful teachers and his good school friend Nick, and one from the first day of school – hasn't he grown?!)
