Back to School

 Hello! It has been a bit!  Arriving back to the States I had to hit the road running as we had so much to get done before school started on the 1st of August.  Dental Appointments, physicals, open houses, school supplies, and school clothes shopping not to mention restocking the refrigerator and now we are back in the full swing of after-school activities.  Today was the first day of cross-country running practice.  It's been crazy, to say the least.  It is hard to believe I have another Senior in the house.  Sadly, I won't be posting a photo of Roman as he is in the stage of life where he refuses to let me take his picture.  Ugh! Anyways, what can I do nothing!  This year also marks another milestone and that is this year will be the final year of having a child in elementary school.  A journey that has been 20 years in the making.  Who would have thought?  I sure would not have thought 20 years ago that I would still have elementary-age school children.  It is about time, as there are certainly parents at the school, and I am probably old enough to be their parents. The good news is that I am not the only older parent at the school.  Well, I am pooped.  It has been a long day, so I am heading to bed. Just for the record: Addy is in 8th grade, and Avery is in 7th grade.  Apparently, she picked up the wrong sign.  I will have to reshoot that photo at a later date, and Ivy is in the 5th.  Cheers to another school year!
