The Second First Day of School

I had to post these pictures from the first day of school for Grant and Jillian, even though that milestone was back in July. Yesterday was another first day for them--they went back on-track after being home for 3 weeks. And just as on their real first day, Grant was excited to head back to his 5th grade class and Jillian was not quite so enthusiastic to return to 2nd grade. She really does like school, she's just NOT a morning person. I remember that Alyssa was the same way at her age. And Evan will just love this goofy picture of himself--the elementary kids' first day of school was also his first day of scout camp so he stepped into the frame for a picture before he left.

Check This Off My List!

For weeks I've been writing "start a family blog" on my list of things to do. I finally decided that today is the day to figure this out. Now I know why I didn't do this sooner--it took me so long to think of a title and to figure out how to change the background that I'm now too tired to post anything meaningful. I'll worry about that tomorrow.
