So it Begins...

Another year has started...for all of us. I wasn't especially sentimental this year...nobody was starting kindergarten or moving to an older school or any other monumental school year. This morning I thought, "no big deal-a 1st grader, a 4 year old, and a 3 year old." This will be an easy first day of school. And it was, until....the end of the day and I drove up to the preschool and realized that I had no more children "downstairs" where the babies are. It made me a little teary to think about both Rylee and Brady being "upstairs" where the older kids are. It's moving too fast...WAY too fast.Rylee putting her brothers in headlocks...such a dainty princess.

From the Dark Cave to OZ

Well, summer is starting to come to a close as is our time here in Indiana (no cheering, Robyn). We've enjoyed it immensely and still have another week of fun left. But.....since there's no guarantee I'll get around to posting when I return to real life I thought I'd catch up on the summer now.Jon was crowned a Minisino at camp. This won't mean a lot to most of you but for those of you that know...it's a big honor in the boy scout world. We turned 3 and fell in love with Ariel and all things "Princess." We hung out at Nana's and Papa's looking cute and loving each other (for the moment, at least). We ate LOTS and LOTS of these...for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We lost a few of these. We bounced... we slid... we climbed... and played some more (and this was all in one evening! I was exhausted). We finally left that dark cave and landed...in the land of oz. We've watched the movie more times than I can count and when our cousin Kayley brought us "genuine" Ruby slippers...well, that just made it official. She even told the waitress at dinner one night her name was Dorothy Gale. And if all that wasn't enough, we went to the county fair last night and did all things "county fair." Such as, ferris wheel riding... corndog eating... and Indiana sweet corn eating... as always, a summer to remember and it's not even over yet!
