Last Day

Mark is home from Hawaii -- was good to see him when I got home. But I am very sad as tonight is Anthony's last night at home before he goes back to school. Here he is on drop off day last year -- quite a change from first day of school in London!
We got to walk Sydney and Presley -- enjoyed the walk but sad to think it will be a long time before we do it again. And poor Sydney will be so sad. He'll be home at Thanksgiving -- but it will be cold again. I cannot believe how summer has flown by. I think Anthony will miss Sydney -- he asked to sleep with him tonight. But he's excited to see his friends -- and his classes should be fun -- well maybe not "fun" but rather challenging. The house will just seem so empty for a while :-( But like anything else -- will survive it! And then I can really count down till vacation as the count down will no longer coincide with days until Anthony leaves home -- but rather it will be a count down of days until he is home for Thanksgiving as well!
