School has started and we are trying to get back into the routine of things that we let slide during the summer. Like going to bed early and getting up early! I haven't quite gotten used to getting up early again, but give me another couple weeks (or months) or maybe I should consider coffee again to get me going in the morning. If it only tasted half as good as it smells, I might could gag it down.
We enjoyed our 'night' in Kansas City with Momma, Pa, Jim & Zoma. WE really appreciate that they always meet us there at the end of summer, bringing Jessie half way, so we can rush back home and start the pre-school preparations we have to work into a few short days. I didn't get to use the swimming pool, per instructions from my knee surgeon, however Jessie, Pa & Jim were able to take a dip.
By the time we got home Jessie was running a 101 fever, so we didn't get alot of pre-school stuff done. By Sunday however, she was feeling alot better, so we were able to at least enjoy the last couple days before school started on Tuesday.
This is a picture of Jessie on her first day of 7th Grade.
The picture in the stripes was her first day of 6th grade last year. Look how much taller/older she looks - amazing what a year will do.
I'm closing with this picture from her first day of 3rd grade. I think it's so darn cute, I just had to include it.
