Gearing Up for School

It was a fun summer!  We spent much time out of town visiting/vacationing with family or spending time in town with family.  It was great.  Again this year we had Dana and Brad staying with us for the first day of the school which we LOVED.  Lindsey and Adelaide were also in town - total bonus.

We all went to get haircuts.  Much overdue haircuts.  All 3 want to grown their hair long (Miles is leading the pack).  The boys got to play video games while they got their hair cut (Noah and Griffin had their controllers under their smocks).  Total bonus.

Our annual/traditional first day of school" celebration rocks (cake and "happy first day of school to you" sung to happy birthday -- everyone gets their own song and own candle).  The first day of school was on a Wednesday, so Mike was out of town.  We ate extra cake on his behalf.

(thinking about a wish for kindergarten???)

Hope we are still doing this when Miles is a senior, Noah is a freshman, and Griffin is in 7th grade!!
