And They're Off . . . .

. . . to 1st grade!! Unbelievable. Though bittersweet, it was a good day - I held my emotions in check and the boys ended up enjoying it much more than they thought they would. They loved seeing their friends again, liked their new teacher and came home in a much more positive mood than when they left! :) Grandpa, Mark and I went to chapel with them in the morning and then my mom was sweet enough to come in and spend the day shopping with me - a nice distraction, as I didn't really want to sit at home all day and dwell on the end of summer.

Now we're getting ready for a Labor Day weekend camping trip - - never say die!! We'll be camping into October, hopefully, if the weather holds out! We have our furnace for the nightime, so as long as it's nice during the day, we're in business. Looking forward to spending some time with my sister and her family, who are going with us - she's been at my mom and dad's for almost two weeks now, and I've hardly seen her, things have been so crazy.

Other than that, we're definitely entering "wedding mode" - one week from Saturday! Jack and Noah are SO excited to be ushers - Jack prayed tonight that he would be a good usher and Noah has been obsessed with the attire - especially the shoes, for some reason. He's so excited about his tux, it's just funny. Can't wait to see what my little men will look like!!!!
