Does anyone else feel like this summer has flown by faster than the last three summers combined?
Here, we are officially back to school!
Back to early bedtimes.....and early mornings.....
Back to packing lunches.....everyday.....
Back to homework......
Back to a routine!
Back to a school we all adore.....
and teachers we love dearly.
Back to friends who are more like a second family.
Back to learning....
about math, spelling, and grammar......
reading, writing, and geography.....
God and country.
Back to being another year older....
and another year wiser.
Back to knowing that by the end of this year,
my two baby girls will be 10 and 7 years old.
And wondering how on earth that happened.
(Hoping your school years are off to a great start!)


It wasn't so long ago that it was you and your sisters heading out that door. It is so true, it goes way too fast. The girls look great and ready to learn. Praying for a great year for them.

Ellen...Hans misses them. He said so today. (But I also think he enjoys a little bit of mama one-on-one time :)

How sweet they look. Summer is hanging on here for a few more weeks and then we hit the books too. xx

Such happy expressions. How was Hans after the girls left?

They both look so grown up in their uniforms! I hope they have a great year!
