First Day of School 2015!

It's hard to believe that another year of school has begun.  Let's start with the tradition "in front of the door" shot.  Yes, Lia is holding her lunchbox.


Patrick is now in 4th grade.  Where has the time gone?

Becca started 2nd grade and is very tall.  She told me the teacher was impressed that she's reading An American Girl book.


The big news is George started Kindergarten!



And Miss Lia is telling everyone she's going to Mommy school.  I don't exactly know what that means but she's excited about it.


A couple of shots with St. Patrick.


Becca is ready to learn.

I told the young lady next to Patrick that she could elbow him a little if he was singing to himself.  Honest, he doesn't know he's doing it.
 

Outside the classroom and very excited.

George hesitated a little when Mrs. Nau asked him to answer "The Question of the Day".  He turned around and put his head in my shoulder.  Then I read him the question "Are you riding the bus home today?" and told he just needed to write his name under "yes" or "no".  He perked right up and went to work.

George at his desk.















I was good and didn't cry at all.  Then when I saw George's face at pick up, I realized how much I missed the little bugger in the few hours he was gone.  Everyone had a great first day and were very supportive of each other. Tomorrow will be a longer day and may be harder...for me anyway.

Webelos Weekend

Mike and Patrick went to Cub Scout camp last weekend.  Here are the pictures they brought home.















More Summer Fun

 Patrick was awarded the Parvuli Dei, a cub scout religious award.  We are very proud.


And so is he! 

Manna was kind enough to send Lia my old My Little Pony lunch box.
Just chillin.

Some playground fun.



 Riding bikes.


George discovered that the neighbors had a sprinkler going over the sidewalk.  


Lia thought it looked fun too.

Becca put this together.

The day was just too much for Little Lia.  This happens more often then not, but she's too big to take a nap.


 The kids got to shot some guns and arrows at Bass Pro Shop.
















Only a week and a half until school starts again.  Patrick says the summer has gone by so quickly, Becca's ready to go back to school, George is excited to star Kindergarten, and Lia is pumped for Mommy School.  More pictures soon.
