Happy New Year

Wow. Kristen is an 8th grader. And Emanuel is a 3rd grader. It's hard to believe that my kids are that big. Yep. It's true.

So the start of the 2011-2012 school year has been lots of fun. I love shopping for school supplies, getting new school clothes (uniforms....yay!), meeting teachers, learning schedules, etc. and so on. But don't get me wrong...I also feel tired from the earlier wake-up, confuse pick-up times, and spend more time than necessary tracking down the "5 inch, blunt tip, Fiskar scissors". Whew.

But it's a back-to-school tradition kind of thing. And I love it.

Homework is in full swing for Kristen. She is sitting on the deck working on her laptop. Emanuel is having  his first after school playdate. So cute. If only I could capture the feeling that I have right now and save it for next month. Oh well.

For today, I am enjoying the start of a new school year.
