RIP Summer......Let Classes Begin!






We said good bye to summer yesterday. David took the boat out one last time with Emily and Abby, Uncle Steve and Jenna. Of course they didn't get home until 8:30 which is when the girls where suppose to be in bed but hey.....it was the last day of summer and pretty soon the lake won't have any water in it anyway!
Fast forward, it is now 9:00 ish and the girls are getting into bed! But no ones is sleepy, except Emily, who is not going to school tomorrow. Fast forward to 10:30 Abby and Olivia are awake! Needless to say this morning was rough on some.

Olivia set her alarm for 6:45 and for the first time in her 9 year history she got herself up on her own with no assistance from the parental units!!!!!! Yay, Olivia! I guessing that means she was very excited to start 5th grade! Wow, can't believe she is a fifth grader! She has a very sweet and precious teacher. Thank you Lord for working that out!

Abby had a much harder time getting up. She had lost her excitment about going to school with her sister this year! Her toe was hurting her this morning and by the time we left for school she said her whole leg was hurting. Sitting at the breakfast table this morning she told me she didn't want to go to school today. I know she is anxious but I know it will be a great day for her. She is going to first grade again this year and though she said she was okay with that, I wonder what might really be going through her head.

Can't wait to pick these girls up from school today and hear their stories! Will post more this afternoon!
