Hard to believe today was the first day of school!!!

Wow! Where did the summer go? Here in Alaska it felt as though summer never came. We had a great summer though. Having my family and Robert's family come to visit kept us busy. We loved every minute of the family's visit. Starting a new school year brings a more normal schedule for us all. The kids claimed they were not ready for school but when it came to wake them up it was a different story. They jumped up out of bed and started to get ready. Smiles spread across their face as we started to head out. The pictures prove it. Thursday I have surgery to remove my gall bladder. This is not what we planned on doing during our first week of school but oh well. It is good the kids are in school though.
The leaves are beginning to fall here. (sigh) Thankfully it takes a bit for the leaves to fall. It allows me the opportunity to brace myself for the winter. My boys have their daddy's humor. Last week they asked me, "Wouldn't it be cool if it snowed on the first day of school?" I told them "NO! I would cry if it did." They just laughed and laughed. Thank goodness their wish did not come true. Hope you all had as wonderful a summer as we did.

I need everyone's help!

I am trying to get myself set up for a photography business. I have come up with some names and slogans but I need your input. I need to know which of the following is your favorite. I am not opposed to other suggestions either. Any and all ideas will be considered. I appreciate your help with this. I love you all!

Happy 5th Birthday Audrey!

Audrey turned five this past Sunday but we actually had her party on Thursday evening. She had picked out a poodle themed party and it turned into a great party. Meemaw Dean heard she was doing a poodle themed party and made Audrey and Alena(her cousin) poodle skirts which turned out very cute! It is hard to believe my baby girl is now 5! Time sure is flying by so quickly. The party was definitely a girly party with all the pink and black. Happy Birthday my Sweet pea! We love you!
