Back to School!!!

So thankful for the school system who gratefully agreed to take my kids again this year. Don't know what I would have done if they had put a giant reject stamp on the registration forms.

Cried, I would have cried.

Luckily I had only tears of joy today as I watched them leave the house to goto the bus stop. Every year we take the picture of their first day of school with the kids holding up the number of fingers for which grade they are starting.

While some pictures will look like cool hand gestures, I still haven't figured out what they will do when they hit 11th and 12th grade.... maybe start adding toes!

First up is Andrew...

Then Brooke....
Followed by Anna....

And Emily......

And last but not least Ian, my baby....

Summer Fun

There is a little part of me that doesn't want summer vacation to end.

Our days have been filled with laziness and water fun and many books.

But most of all it has been filled with family and friends!

Soon school will start and we won't have as much time to hang around doing nothing

while having a ton of fun doing it!
