First Day of School!

Posing for a picture together getting ready to head off for their first day of school this year!

Okay, I can't believe yesterday was already the first day of school.  I took the kids and dropped them off yesterday morning and it was the hardest time I have ever had dropping them off.  It was hard when Robyn went to kindergarten, and a little harder when Maegan went.  But today my third beautiful girl started Kindergarten and it was even harder on me.  She was so brave and good.  We went and had Meet the Teacher night last night, so she already new where her desk and cubby were.  She walked right in, put her backpack away, sat at her desk and said "Bye Mom" without any hesitation.  I was so proud of her being so brave and ready to start the new adventure, but I just wasn't ready for it yet.

The girls getting off the bus yesterday afternoon.

Oh, when she was getting ready for school this morning, she was as cute as can be.  She said, "Mom, everybody is going to like me at school today."  I said "Yes they are."  I was so glad that she was that confident going into school.  I think she is going to do great!!  It's just weird having my third one in school already.

This Summer!!

Wow this summer went WAY to fast!  Here are a few things we did these past few months.   

First of all,  in March we moved into a new house.  We are doing a lease to own and it is a pretty sweet deal.  We know the owners pretty well, and they have had the house on the market for over a year and haven't been able to sell it.  They decided to lease it to us for less than their monthly payment and we have the option to buy next February.  It is working out quite well so far.  This is the back of the house.

This is the view from our back porch.  It is quite nice having a huge back yard and no neighbors behind us. 
Isn't the view Beautiful?!?

This is the front of the house.  I didn't get the whole front in the picture, but at least you can see the beautiful landscaping there is.  I won't show you a more recent picture though, because I have a little bit of weed pulling to do.  Getting to it in this humidity is a little tough for me to do.  But it will get done eventually! 






 One of the first things we did was get some of our toys out that we haven't been able to play with for a long time.

We also went to Florida a couple of times.  Here is a picture of the girls at the beach!

The second time we went to Florida, my sister and her two kids and my Mom and Dad met us there.  We had so much fun, even though it rained a lot and there was oil on the beaches.

Here's Grandpa playing with his grand kids!!  He always has some fun game for them to play.

While in Florida we also went to the Air and Space Museum.  The girls loved climbing into all the planes and pretending they were flying.
We did a lot more this summer, but hopefully I will make another post for that.  Happy Summer!!!
