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 will be praying that your surgery goes well! Your kids are growing up so fast! What grades are the boys in now?

The boys are in 1st and 2nd now. Doesn't time just fly by so quickly? Thank you so much for your prayers.
