A 4th grader, a 3rd grader and what??!!! a Kindergartener too!

Here they are on the first day of school-how could it be that summer is already gone?

Vann with his "reverse" hair-do. It was spiked in the front and combed down in the back but as time went on this morning, it switched!

Heading down the drive way to catch the bus-talking about trading silly bands.

Another shot of the house-possibly getting painted very soon. We thought that all summer though!!

I, by all accounts of the definition, am not a blogger. When I get busy, I don't stop and capture our events in this blog as I should. And who am I kidding, "when I get busy"....I am always busy. We have had such a wonderful summer, it was a shame that I didn't keep track of it better. It's so hard to pull out all of the details 2 months later. We spent a week with my parents in Georgia, along with my sisters and their families, headed down to Barkley Lake for some boating adventures and went out to Colorado for 10 days. In between all that, we swam on the city swim team, worked a little, read tons of books for the library club, had slumber parties in the clubhouse, and spent many a long summer nights playing outside. It was wonderful. So, now, we are back in "routine" mode. Early bedtimes, packing backpacks, homework, soccer and cross country practices, and scheduled work days for me. But soon, before we know it, another season will be upon us and it won't be long until those glorious summer days will be back.
