Back to School

6th Grader!

Cameron's first day at Cedar River Middle School 

This fall has brought BIG changes for us.  Cameron has six different teachers, a locker, PE clothes.... We are NOT in elementary school any longer.  The first week has been a success.  No tears and a smile on the first day home.

1st Grader!

Natalie is definitely ready to tackle all day school.  Her first week has been a success and loves the fact that she can eat hot lunch now.

4th Grader!

 Julia is a seasoned pro at her school but is getting her first experience with a portable for a classroom this year.   She isn't sure if she loves it yet or not. 

 Lucy fully believed that she was going to school on the 1st day.  She demand she wear a backpack and even asked me for her lunch to go in her backpack.  It wasn't a pretty sight when she finally learned that she would not be attending.

I was ready for school to start and to get back in the swing of things.  I am really enjoying a few hours in the afternoon while Lucy is napping to get things done without interruption! 

Just in case you are thinking that I am living the sweet life, I decided to potty train Lucy this week.  It hasn't been smooth sailing.... More to follow....

What? A new post?!?

Where do I start to catch up??  This summer has been a strange one!!  For me personally I am glad to put it in the history books. It has been one expensive medical summer.  I have had multiple health problems this summer that have kept me down and out..I was one sick mama.  Our family has also done a lot of fun things everything from birthdays to Wild Waves!  I am hoping with school back in that I can catch up on my blog. I want to keep record for myself of this summer as a reminder of all the many blessings that I have in my life. We are so appreciative of all the help from family this summer. We could not have survived without all the help and kindness shown us. Here is to a healthy fall and some new blog posts!!
