The kids are back to school. Thinking about this last night, I had a smile on my face. I was imagining alone time and the dance of joy I would do after dropping them off at school. I have been with the kids all summer and was excited for the day to myself. I did get to run some errands and eat lunch alone today, but I wasn't smiling. I missed the kids. I think I am mourning the end of summer. I know technically it is still summer, but once the school routine starts, summer is basically over. Also, I am one of those weird parents who enjoys having her kids home and loves to play with them in the summer (when they let me :) ) We had such a fun summer. I did not want to see it end.
Here is the traditional back to school picture on the porch. Zack was nervous about 7th grade. Nicole was thrilled. She has the same teacher Zack had a few years ago.

You must live in a farming community to start so early. Maybe that is what happens when you are not in the "mission field." Have fun at school-you both will do great!
Kids look great...how was Nic's first day? I take it Zack goes back with ALL the kids today, right? I'll check back then and see how it goes for him.
I did the happy dance until realized it was early out, again. I just can't seem to get anything done when they are getting home so early.
Glad you guys are back from your Grandparents' tour and that the boogie boarding went so well. Looks fun.
I'll talk to you soon.
:) Shauna
