I can't believe it is really here- Back to school, back to schedules, back to routine, back to dinner before 8:30pm, back to bed at an earlier hour, back to jackets, back to sneakers, back to early morning hours.
Farewell summer- you weren't here very long, but you were delightful!
We partied all week long in anticipation. Movies, games, swimming, late nights- trying to get it out of our system as if that were possible.
Sunday- we had a great FHE complete with Father's Back to School Blessings. We had a campfire and sang songs and threw our fears in the fire. We reminisced about our favorite summer happenings. We had a back to school dinner with grilled steaks- Katry's choice. It was a fun day and everyone went to sleep eager for Monday morning.
Brig is a Fearless Freshman and couldn't be more excited about all the possibilities before him.
Katry is a Super Sweet Seventh grader- and starting at the Middle School. It was fun to go around her school with Brig, cause all the teachers know and love him- so Katry had an instant "in".
Seth is our Fantastic Fifth grader. He was the least excited about heading out. He begs me to homeschool him- but he really needs the competition there. He is an awesome student. He also has the same teacher that Katry had- so great things are expected from him. They have all had straight A's two years running. No one wants to be the first to break the streak.
Kaleb is our Fabulous First grader- at home with me. I love having these two little munchkins to myself for a couple of hours every day. This is Kai's tower- I think he wants to be an Engineer.
