first day of school 9/3/08

Today was the kids first day back to school. They got up and packed their lunches and were ready to go. J.D. even waited with them at the bus stop, which is just at the end of our driveway. Kiley is so organized that when she came home she had her list of school supplies that we needed ready to go and she even high-lighted the dates of her tests. I hope that I can be like her when I grow up!

Danny had his first day of cross country track today. I am not sure if they ended up running or not but he sure fell asleep real fast when he came home today. He takes after his dad.

I think that they had fun today seeing their friends again and my kids are usually excited to go back to school.

I am very new to making a video on this camera. I accidently let go of the button so it stopped and that is why there are 2 videos of the kids in the pool. This summer we spent a lot of time over at my parents home in Newburgh because a few of my sisters and my brother came in. For my family it was definetly a vacation. We played a lot of ping pong, darts and swam in the pool a whole lot. The kids and I went on a couple of bike rides down my parents road. So thank you mom and dad for letting us stay and play at your house! I have a whole bunch of pictures of the kids jumping in the pool that I will try and put together as a slide show.
