first day of school

Here are our mandatory first day of school pics.  Lucy is in 4th grade this year, and has 3 different teachers, 2 of which are men.  She was rather nervous about that, but seems to be adjusting well.  Jayne is in 2nd grade, and is still loving school!  They're getting so big!

end of summer fun

our last few days of summer break consisted of playing, potty training, slumber parties, and meeting teachers!  it's been a great summer!

fun times!

It's been a great Summer!  We didn't travel much, but we've had plenty of family come and visit us here in the heat!  First, my brother and some of his kids came from Washington state, and then Richie's brother and his family came to visit from Utah!  We had a great time playing with all the cousins!  It was great to see how much everyone had grown!

 

 

Richie also celebrated a birthday last week.  He's officially old! :D  The kids had earned some free ice cream certificates from participating in the library's reading program this summer, so we all went out for ice cream to celebrate his birthday!
