Life as I know it....

Life as I know it is now over....Summer time, swimming, sleeping in, staying up late...it is all over...We finished up our summer vacation with a wonderful vacation in Tybee Island, Georgia last week....and today it was back to school....This summer has absolutely flown by....but it was an awesome summer...Probably the best one we have ever had!!!!

I have been slacking on the blogging....Getting back into the groove of things has taken me a few days...tonight is the first time I have actually sat down and even looked at the computer...But I am just about back into a routine....thank goodness...This first part of the week has been crazy...coming home from the beach, getting ready for school, starting to get ready for fall sports....But I know you are glad that I am back...Hee hee...in the blogging world....Believe me...I have lots of things to blog about...But I will try to spare you any boring long posts...=)

I am planning a few Tybee Island posts for this week...but today I am going to post a few photos of my kiddos going back to school...Ian started middle school...I had a hard time with that one...but the smile on his face, walking towards the van, when I picked him up...let me know right away that he had a great day...He loved it...and is looking forward to an awesome year.....Macey is in the fourth grade, and she had a great day too...She loves school...so she makes every day a great day....and Mr. Cade goes for his first day of school tomorrow....Kindergartners in our school, do a staggered schedule for the first week of school (Cade goes 2 half days this week, and then normal schedule next week)...to help them adjust to being in school...so I will post a few "first day" pics of him tomorrow...Here is Ian and Macey's first day of school pics..... I remember Ian starting school like it was yesterday....He cried and screamed (literally) every day until December....and to think he is in middle school....Where does the time go? My sweet little girl....going into the 4th grade...She loves school...and is looking forward to having a great year...She loves her teacher, and can't wait to get started..... We took pictures in front of the school (like always) but only of Macey...The "school photo" tradition will end with middle school.....=) Wouldn't want to embarrass anyone.....
