August 14, 2017

Such a big day! The first day of school 2017-2018!!

Everyone was so excited, looked so darn cute, and had a great first day.

Emma and Julia -- off to the bus at 7:30 a.m., looking so cute!!

Emma--10th grade at Desert Hills High School
Julia -- 8th grade at Desert Hills Middle School

Miles, looking cool, leaving at 7:30 on his bike to 6th grade at Sunrise Ridge.

Austin, my happy 3rd grader, leaving at 8:30 to Crimson View Elementary.

Dropping Austin off on the first day.  Owen gets to wait another week to join him.

It's exhausting staying home all day.  :)

 I've been really sad to see the summer come to an end.  I've absolutely loved the relaxed schedule and the lazy days of summer.  But today I made the best of our new schedule.  I got up early and went for a run.  I scrubbed the house with the cleaners.  I played with the little boys.  I made ham and potato soup with homemade corn muffins.  I took the boys swimming when they got home from school.  Everything felt ordered and calm and happy.  It was a really nice day.

I'm so thankful for the ebb and flow of our life.  Some days are lazy summer days, and other days and fully scheduled hard working days.  But as long as we are together, loving each other, it's all part of our beautiful life.
