School has Begun!

Allie and Luke started school on the 13th of August.  Wesley's first day was two days later.  More on that soon.  But now- my precious beautiful children!


 And now for the reality of what life truly is.

 Oh those awful gnats!
 And crazy girls!


You will note that Rachel's shorts AND shirt are on backwards.  Love it when they dress themselves.

Funny story- on Monday night, the night before school started, we were in the boys room when Allie came in wearing her first day of school outfit.  "THIS is what I am going to wear" she announced after having tried on several different options.  Wesley said "Oh Allie you look so beautiful I am going to cry!"  It was hilarious and perfect timing and we all laughed so hard.  He is really developing his sense of humor.

Allie came home after first day and complained about the back of her heels hurting.  I noticed in the photos her shoes are not even on her feel correctly.  She begged to wear them because they were so cute and perfect with her outfit.  And also uncomfortable.  We had zucchini muffins for breakfast that morning with scrambled eggs.  Rachel was obviously still working on hers.  Just wanted to note that it was zucchini from our garden.  Love garden vegetables!

Crazy, we don't start for another week. I didn't even recognize Rachel, guess it's been too long and we're slackers for not making it down there yet.

The kids sure look cute as they are waiting for the bus. The flowers in the background are pretty. The boys look like they are having fun and little Rachel's cute pose looks like
a glamor shot. I guess I couldn't see that her clothes were on backwards. Cute kids!!

Cute pictures! Poor Allie. It's no fun to hurt. Does Wesley go to a different school, or do they start Kindergarten later for some reason?

What adorable school portraits. Not one of Wesley, though? You make your kids eat zuccini? Mean Mom!

I know we saw everybody in July but Alli especially looks a lot older and more grown up in the pictures. It's fun to see all the kids in their school pose for the year.

I love your tradition with school pictures on the rock. It wont be long before they can't fit together on that rock. Cute kids.
