Back to School

School started on the 19th, much to our dismay.  Well, actually I was the only one that was sad.  The boys were both very excited to go to school.  They get to take the bus this year, which has been a huge cause of anxiety for me.  I worried so much that they wouldn't make the bus home, or get on the wrong one, or get off at the wrong stop, etc.  But so far its been smooth.  The bus stop is right in front of our house so that has made it super easy.

Anyway, here they are on the first and second days of school (since they started on different days).






Tribute to Summer.

I am unbelievably sad that Summer Vacation has come to an end.  School started SO EARLY this year.  We did lots of fun things this summer.  Here are some pictures of some of the stuff we got to do before school season showed up and ruined our fun.
