Back to School

I am ready for the school year to begin.  All was accomplished during the summer that needed to be done.  So with a weekend open with not much to do in the scorching humid heat, Clif and I decided to tackle a Peek Season Puzzle.  These are challenging as the colors are so similar, but we finished it in just 4 days.



I was excited that I had work everyday this week, Pre-K kids Mo-We and 2nd graders Th/Fr.  It's great to be able to dive right in the first week of school.  The honeymoon period for the students is still in session!   Now I have to adjust to my school schedule because I no longer have the luxury of doing housework during the in-between times throughout the day.  Not only that, visitations and chatting with friends are adjusted to accommodate our work schedules.

Thursday night was a busy night for us.  Stephen decided to come to visit as well as Valerie and Chloe.  I seized the moment to get a picture of Uncle Stephen with his niece as that has yet to be done.



I don't know about you, but I see a striking family resemblance.   As a matter of fact, when Valerie and I took out Stephen's 3 month baby picture, Chloe looks like him!



Then of course Grandpa had to have his turn.



And Grandma gets her when she's all worn out.



 She took a short fiesta while we played Thurns and Taxis.



Just an added picture on her "3 month" birthday, Aug 14.  Valerie brought her over so we could lavish her with hugs and kisses. :)
