Let's see . . . we did try to accomplish a 100 item Summer Bucket List (about 20 -30 of which were items we knew we would do anyway!) and we only managed to complete about 70 out of the 100. But, we did try and had fun doing the things we managed to get done!
We also took three summer trips that kind of zapped some of our lazy days of summer. Dallas Texas, though hot and muggy, was a chance to catch up with the David side of the family, then Seattle and Vancouver allowed me to catch up with my "love of nature" side, and last but not least a week in hot (but not nearly as hot as usual) Palm Springs where the kids brought friends and caught up with their ever growing need for independence side! They were off swimming and enjoying the resort on their own - meeting other teens - having fun - worrying the parents!!!
Anyway . . school began and Justin had his first days at high school and his first high school dance last Friday night. He is definitely beginning to understand what it means to be a freshman. Andrea started back at her middle school as an eighth grader or as we say BGOC - Big Girl On Campus!
Both love their classes and have been fun catching up with friends they had not seen over summer
So here they are - the first day of school! Definitely not little kiddos anymore!!!
