everyday...

we inch closer and closer to the first day of school. i still can't believe summer is basically over with for at least lela. lacey still has until september 1 before she returns. we're trying to enjoy our last few hours/days of freedom - sleeping late, playing at home, hanging out with friends, just being plain 'ole lazy. ahh! these are the days. today, was such a treat just hanging out with friends. we spent most the day over at wendy's while the kids rode bikes and played. it was so nice just visiting with a dear friend, i must say. thanks wendy, katharine and lily!

gearing up for school

lela seems to be getting more excited as i get more nervous about school starting. we have exactly one week and counting till we're back in the groove of things. yesterday, confirmed that all of this is real and lela would definitely be going into the first grade at Welch Elementary. we received a postcard telling us who her teacher was and what room she was going to be in. she was giddy with excitement as we looked at the postcard together. there seems to be a lot going on at the school and that will be good for us all. come next thursday, we will offically meet lela's teacher and attend a family cookout sponsored by the pta. i'm laying low for the time being, you know it's only a matter of time before i'm involved there. oh goodness, here we go again...another school year seems to be upon us.
