First Day of School August 2011


All the school-age monkeys left today.  Ahhh.  Is it bad to be glad?

Hyrum doesn't start school until September 7th. I may die a slow death from the question, "When do I go to school?"  In an effort to avert this tragedy, we did make a paper chain to help count the days.

Is the school system ready for the residents of the Sanatorium?

And I posted the last three letters from Elder Denton on his blog just this afternoon.  Click here to read them.  I'm not leaving town for a while now--maybe I won't get so behind on those missionary posts.

  4. What a great idea to post their likes on the first day of school. I might borrow your idea if you don't mind. My kids start school, 8/22 and 8/23. They are going to different places this year.

  5. I find it somewhat amusing that Evie looks the least excited about the first day of school... :)

  6. Ok, that last picture is my all time favorite! LOVE! It's so, SO you guys! Also love the shot of Lilly.

    And lastly, did I really see Evie in footie pajamas, in Arizona, in AUGUST? I'm a sweaty mess just thinking about it.

    Oh, and one more thing. I hardly know what to do with myself. This will be the first time in 9 years that I won't be seeing you at least once a week. Little sad.

  9. Another great idea to do every year! Your kids are adorable! Though Ben is probably past the stage where he wants to be called adorable huh?
