1st Day of School 2013

Well, we all survived the first day of school!  The picture of Andrew makes Andrew look like he grew a lot from last year but it is actually the angle of the picture.  The kids are very happy in their new classrooms and I think it's going to be a great year!  I'm a week late posting these pictures....we started school on the 12th.   I already worked 2 days this week and still have a half day tomorrow.  I'm enjoying being at home getting the house cleaned up and organized.  I missed getting the kiddos ready and off to school last year.  I'm getting some much needed organizing done while I have the house to myself and it is making me a happier person.  I am also running 3-4 times a week and am up to 3 miles at a time.  I've never been a "runner" and someone recently accused me of not being a "real" runner whatever that means.  I'm thinking that getting up at 5:30 a.m. to go out and complete 3 miles would make me a real runner.  I don't love doing it but I feel great when I'm done.  Anyway, here's what the kids looked like the first week.

 I didn't get as many pictures of Andrew.  Apparently he is "too cool" for pictures now that he is 3rd grade.

Week 2 Grace was chosen as the Star of the week.  She was super excited!!!
