The rest of our summer fun at a glance!

Before school started we spent a week with Dwane's parents.  We were so excited to see our new baby cousin, who is so sweet and perfect.  The kids had so much fun, Grandma and Grandpa have no problem spoiling and the kids love every minute.  We also had some fun with our friends at the pool who we missed while we were away.

The girls

Robb and Kate...Robb learned how to dive this summer, he was so fun to watch.  He would get ready, count then jump, but for the first 20 times he could just not go in head first.  Then an awesome older kid encouraged him and gave him some pointers and before long that was all it took.

One week under our belt...

It is hard to believe that summer is over.... I am still trying to get my brain out of vacation mode.  Here are the kids on their big first day!  Alexa started kindergarten this year and was so excited to ride that big yellow school bus.  My favorite story from the first week of school was about the incredible thrilling event of the FIRE DRILL.  She told me that there wasn't fire in the building and there wasn't fire outside the building, but there must have been smoke some where.  The fire drill was the clencher I think she is a taker on this school thing.  Robb is just silly he loves his new teacher and can't wait to get into science.  Madeline is such a girl, she was all about the perfect shoes for the first day of school, we looked everywhere and finally found them, they are darling(see picture). She was a little nervous about her new teacher, but has found out that she is a lot of fun.
