Back to School

Well it's done...  Back to reality, back to school!  Luckily swimming does not start for 2 weeks and Auds does not have a soccer game until 9/8.  So a bit of an ease into reality.

Ms. Audrey is headed into her last year with her sister at her school (until high school).

She is in class with her good friend and neighbor which makes her very happy.

Ms. Cecelia is going into her last year of elementary school.

She is also taking on winter swimming this year!

I am so happy to have been able to spend the summer with these two girls.

I will miss them (shh... don't tell them).

But I know that as with every school year, they will grow, have fun, and make some new friends.

So here we go girls, onward and upward to a great school year for all of us.

Beach Trip

The girls and I are not ready to go back to reality so we soaked up this last celebration of summer with our beach trip.  Enjoy some pictures from our first few days.  On this trip, Audrey for some reason reverted back to age 4 when Mommy had to be in the water with her at all times.  I have no idea why that happened this trip but I was in that water ALOT.   I am talking hours at a time, even though she will argue it was not enough.  But the water was gorgeous this trip and never really got very rough.

It should be noted that Audrey caught more fish then Pete this trip and she never actually went fishing.  Randomly she caught a fish in her hand and we kept him in a bucket for a little bit.
