The Kids Right Now: Summer 2018

The kids last day of school was Thursday, so I thought I would do a little update post on them right now. They are growing so fast and I have been weepy about it lately (especially after reading this Jen Hatmaker post about her graduating daughter).  We are writing our summer bucket list today and are looking forward to making a lot of memories together. I’ve included some Amazon afiliate links in case your kids are the same ages and might have the same favorites.
