Lately...

 It's hard to believe that it's been three months since school started and since my last post, but it has been.  We're all well into the swing of things with school, baseball season has come and is almost gone, Wren and Judson turned 6, Halloween has already happened, Judson lost (and swallowed) his first tooth, Tony and I took a get-away to Jamaica, and so much more.  The kids and kittens have grown so much in such a short amount of time.  So, in reverse order from Halloween to the beginning of August, here are what we've been up to lately.

First Day of School 2021

 The shortest summer ever just passed, and I just put my three kids onto the school bus!  I remember when the twins were just born thinking that the day where they would all be in school would never come to pass, but now that it is here all I can think is, "Where has the time gone?"  

Juddy was so excited he couldn't even stay still long enough for a picture.  I may make him retake this when he gets home...

Thank heavens, everyone got onto the bus without incident.

Praying for a great first day and rest of the school year!

Here are pics from the last few days of summer break:
