Another school year has begone

Here are some pictures of Olivia and Madi's first day of school.

Their first day was Aug. 23.

They are going to Bethel Dunkard Brethren this year.

It's only 5 minutes down the road and they have bussing.

Olivia's in 3rd and Madi's in 1st

New backpacks and lunch bags.

They are so excited about packing their lunches.

I wasn't so excited about that.

It turned out not to be as big of a deal.

They don't eat much plus they're so picky, their lunches are

pretty similar everyday.

Last June on their last day of school.

Not much has changed.

Although I think they're happier about the last day of school

 then the first day of school.

5th annual Rockhall, MD trip

Yep, This summer we made the trip down to that tiny beach house

with many kids.

We had a ton of fun and look forward to this time of year.

Jen and Mary Lou

Tessa and Madi

We tried to get a picture of the two red heads but

they did not cooperate.

This picture was torture for all of us.

Yeah we had a great time.

Someday I'll learn not to make the children pose.

But man, sometimes I want just one picture of them together.
