First day of a new year.



She was thrilled this morning, excited and I dare say a little bit nervous to go to school. She even said in her prayer to bless that she wouldn't get embarrassed. I thought it was so sweet they way her mind works and that she knows praying will help her feel better.

It feels weird that the summer is over already. It went by this year in a blur and I fear the rest of the year will go just as quickly and how badly I want to slow down time, if just a bit.

Here are a few highlights of what we did this summer, yes, today I will be reminiscing, but not about the heat. I am ready for that to fade.
















Tess and Megan start school next week after labor day. They are both itching to go and I am just as excited to have a few hours a week to myself. I'm going to have to think of something to fill the days until Wednesday comes. I fear it could be a long week for the both of them.

Happy Monday!!

How exciting for Bella, she looks so grown-up all of a sudden. I guess 2nd grade does that to a girl.

Have fun with Tess and Megan this week, and then how exciting for some time alone next week!

your pictures are so amazing. I especially love the sprinkler and fireworks ones.

First day of school is exciting and nerve racking for everyone, even the moms! She looks so grown up and ready for school! I love that she already knows what prayer can do!

(great photos as always!)

Love her faith, and love the photos from your summer. You never cease to amaze me with your talent!

Great photos, Amy. My kids started last week! I was just thinking today that if they went back to school after Labor Day, like I always did, it would feel a little bit more like the end of summer. I hope they all have a great school year!

We started 2nd grade today as well. It seems we were just doing kindergarten just yesterday. Crazy.

Second and fifth grade begin for us next week. The summer has flown by to me, I just can't quite believe it's time for it to end.

I hope her first day went well! Loved her sweet prayer.

What a fun way to celebrate the first day of school. I love the picture in your previous post of the girls all wiped in the car. It does make me reminisce about childhood.

That is so cute that Bella said that in her prayer. She is so sweet. I can't believe how grown up she looks! She is so beautiful. I hope that she had a great first day. You must be so excited for Megan and Tess to go to school. Do you have a huge list of projects to work on? I can't imagine the freedom! Enjoy it!!

I love your Bella stories! What a sweet girl you have! And what a momentous week you will have next week--a few hours alone at home every week until the end of the school year!
