2008-09 School year begins...




Today we began our school year. Lily is 8 and in 3rd grade. Colby is 6 and in first grade this year. And Landry is 3.5 and she is officially in pre-school, taking part in much of our day and enjoying her own lessons in Before Five in a Row.

We had a big breakfast as a family -- with each family member getting to pick at least one thing for the meal. After we ate, we gave the kids their backpacks...loaded to the gills with all new school-supplies. They loved opening everything and seeing what Troy & I picked out. It was a lot of fun. Summertime is such a special, relaxing season, but I think we're all happy to be back to a regular routine.
