Yes, we did start school. . .

One might think we didn't start school yet here, or that I am now homeschooling since I have neglected to post the ever famous back to school pics.   But, alas, here they are!  My big kids!!  Austin is now in 1st grade and Ashlyn is in Kindergarten.  It's true - they are gone all day and I dream of the days when we would wake up whenever and do whatever we wanted all day.  My how things have changed!!

And here is my sweet Gabriella - She is now in 4 year old preschool.  She has become such an animal lover too.  She absolutely loves dogs and wishes so bad she could have one.  Mommy has to bring the hammer down on that one.  No dogs here.  Luckily she has Miss Jennie's dog, Sunday, whom she gets to play with all the time.  She also has taught Lucas to behave like a puppy which is pretty much the same thing.  I have even been known to find bowls of water on the ground that Lucas has been drinking out of since he is the family "dog".  Nice.

Here we are having some quiet time.....ahhhhh....

And that's all I got for now.  I will post on the end of summer as soon as I find a free second.  For now though, I can check getting school pics off the list!
