Finally picking up our girl

Love you sunshine!

Back to school activities have begun

And our ballerina/soccer star is ready to roll!

Celebrating our auntie Annie!

Saturday

A quiet, but fun Saturday!

A little hair styling, science, roller skating, karaoke-ing, then a pajama party on a rooftop!

Once and awhile, a quiet day like this is just what we all need!

School Celebrating

I always love coming up to school, but it's even better when I can bring treats! The last piece of the seventh and tenth birthday celebrations is complete.

I loved bringing birthday donuts for each of your classes today to celebrate my girls!

 And I love the goofiness when we got home.  

How fun to have a week when activities haven't started yet! 

I get you all to myself after school.

A weekend full of old friends, and new

Make new friends,

but keep the old.

One is silver

and the other's gold.

I never figured out which is silver, and which is gold. 

But it doesn't matter.  Nothing beats old friends that you grew up with, but it's also so much fun to make new friends, especially as you're starting a new school year!

What a fun weekend spending time with both!

Endless summer

Let's keep staying up late and swimming with friends and chasing rockets on the golf course... 

at least until the homework and tests begin!

4th and 1st Grade

WHAT?!  How did this happen?  Summer has left us and it's time to return to St. Rita to learn to be a scientist and a lawyer...

BIG SMILES THIS MORNING FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!

 ... and to play with our friends...

As always, I'm so sad to say goodbye to spending every morning lazy cuddling in bed with my girls, and afternoons doing adventures and traveling, and evenings staying up late with friends.  BUT, you guys were all smiles embarking on this school adventure, which makes my heart full!

Cheers to a wonderful year ahead, and ice cream after school :)

I love you!
