The sun is setting on summer...


We are making some changes...

Trading late nights for scheduled bed times.

Giving up sleeping in for early morning alarms.

Exchanging bathing suits for school clothes.

Replacing free time with studying.

Swapping outings with friends for classes with teachers.

Docking the boat and riding the bus.

But, we're also looking forward to...

Seeing school friends we haven't seen all summer.

A regular routine.

Football games with fabulous halftime shows.

Cheerleading competitions in a new division.

Band and drumline competitions.

Dance recitals and drama events.

Visits from guests and family over the next few months.

And especially...

Cooler weather. Some rain. (Please, Lord... any day now. Please?!)

School starts tomorrow!!!

Woo hoo! How did day one go?

In Kyle's words: "Typical first day of school stuff"

Could he be any more excited?

I figure it this way--he got on the bus on time, and it dropped him off safely after school. It was a good day.

Love you,

Your family seems to do such a good job of fitting in fun, while still taking care of business, and squeezing the most out of your summer time!

You probably don't want to hear that we have our windows open every night and that I had to wear jeans today because it was cool out. ;) Praying for rain and cooler temps for you as school starts!

The start of school is always filled with its bittersweet moments. End of summer but the beginning of fall is nice. End to hot weather - priceless.
