Lump in My Throat

A good addendum to my previous post about my kids starting school and us having survived the summer would be THIS video.

Just saw it today and it is such a good memory to make memories and not just assume they will happen.




Of course it was produced by an advertising agency (those buggers). Speaking of which, have you seen the work my ad agency has put out lately? We are in the middle of building our new website, but our portfolio is up and you can see our latest work.

First Day!

 We made it. Through the summer that was absolutely incredible. We did a million-zillion things and now we are done. DONE-SKIS. We got to the first day of school and the kids are thrilled. Seriously. They love their teachers, their school, their friends. They have a zest for life that I really need to take ahold of. They love everything-except for maybe the things that I ask them to do. (story for another day) But here we are! School year 2013-14! 180 days until next summer. Let's do this!

Asher: 8 years old. 

Third Grade. 

Mrs. Gillespie and Mrs. Holly. 

He is in a new system of being team-taught. He is so excited about having two teachers this year and not just one. He has also applied to be a "library helper."  Fingers crossed! 

Lucy: 6 years old

1st Grade

Mrs. Barnwell.

Loves wearing earrings and bracelets. 

We had to get her a desk because she has so many on-going craft projects that they have been taking over our house. She also gets her own trash can for said craft projects. Sometimes called "crap projects" when they don't turn out so good. 

This was her heading into her classroom. One last look back at mom! Gah I love her. 

Asher right after he got off the bus. He had a great day. So did Mom. We all missed each other just the right amount!

The neighborhood clan that rides the bus! Love these kids! 

YAY for school! Love our teachers. Love our neighborhood. All is right in the world right now. :)
