They're Baacck! (To school, that is!) It's that time of year - the Sunday back to school ads outweigh the actual newspaper! Both kids are back in school. YAY! (that's me cheering, not them).

Gina is in high school this year, and started last week. She loves it, and has met some new people. The first football game was last Friday night, and it was a crushing defeat - fun for us, not so fun for the hosting team! I think Art is looking forward to having a high schooler - at least until the boys start calling. Hopefully we can hold off on that for a few more years!

Vincent is also back to being a small fish in a big pond. He moved up to the 4th-8th grade campus this year - and so far does not seem to mind being the "little kids" again. His favorite part of the day is still lunch, so not much has changed since 3rd grade.

As promised, here are the traditional photos of the kids standing on the porch. Both of them asked did I HAVE to do this every year, and I told them the truth- Yes I Do. It's nice as they are both on a schedule again, but extracurricular activities have not yet begun, and homework is still pretty limited. I wonder how long this bliss will last....Darn! I blinked! I think that was it.
