First day of school

Laura is officially a kindergartener! She's three days in and says she loves it. In the past three days she has said the following things which tells me she's listening:

"Raise a quiet hand"

"I can earn an opportunity for a prize"

"Put your bubble in"

Enjoy the first day of school photo shoot!

Sam's a Schulz photographer. There's no doubt about that!

Cousins

The Boyd girls came to spent a couple of days with us. While they visited, I only used paper plates and almost all the meals were eaten on the deck so I had minimal clean up. It was great having the girls over to mix it up a bit during the dog days of summer. Laura loves being in between Maisie and Molly's ages and always positions herself right in the middle of the two girls. She asked me if cousins can be BFFs. I told her cousins make the Best BFFs. ❤️

GG and Papa Camp

The kids went to GG and Papa Camp for six days in July. The kids had a great time at camp. They played with cousins, fed cows, picked vegetables from a gigantic garden, went to a library carnival, made a fort, rode four wheelers, jumped on the trampoline, swam in the pond, played in a hide-out, and listened to GG read Junie B. Jones books. How lucky we are to have healthy, willing, & loving (grand)parents to host a "camp" that the kids will remember fondly forever. We are beyond blessed!

 

Eric and I "survived" while the kids were away too.
