Weather As Usual

It never fails the day we decide to go pick out pumpkins it always rains!!  This year was no exception.  The kids don't mind jumping the mud puddles though.

First Day Blues

The first official day back to school is always rough.  Every year I think it is going to get easier, but it never does.  I guess that is mainly due to the fact that I know the kids are 1 year closer to moving out!  This year the dog was also not very happy.  That very first morning he got up for a short time and then went straight back to his bed and had the saddest eyes!!

The Unfamiliar And The Not So Unfamiliar

Meet the teacher night was a blur!!  The boys both had a football scrimmage in Britton the same night and it was my first day back to work!  Nothing like trying to cram everything into 1 day.  Leland was lucky enough to loop to 5th grade with his teacher and entire class from 4th grade.  While Sutton is embarking on a new adventure with a new teacher after having had the same teacher for 1st and 2nd grades.  So far so good!!

Winding Down

Our last trip of the summer was back up North.  The boys did a little fishing.  We visited Leland, Suttons Bay, and Empire.  And of course did plenty of Petoskey stone and Blue Leland hunting.
