Waning Summer Days

The end of Summer is approaching and Fall is around the corner (Saying this helps me cope with the 100 + degree temperatures) and it is in this "between times" that we welcome back.... SCHOOL! It seems like yesterday when we sent them off on their first day of Kindergarten, but yesterday marked the start of their second week of third grade.

Jared and Brady both are truly excited about school, and are working very hard. There are downsides of course, early bed times (I'm OK with this one :-), more homework and third grade is "a bit tougher" than second were told. But the positives of friends and learning far outweigh these minor inconveniences. They are excited every morning to get there and get to class! I hope this feverish love of academics stays with them both for a long, long time.

Here are a few pictures of Jared and Brady in the car rider line from this morning, enjoy!

Wow, 3rd grade. I'm happy to know that they are excited about school. We're feeling the 100 degree temps here in Raleigh as well. It's a bummer because it really limits what Andrea can do with the girls. Oh well, Fall is just around the corner so relief is in sight. We look forward to seeing you all next week. I hope all is well with Baby Naslund.

I agree, it is hard to believe they are in 3rd grade! Can't wait to see everyone next weekend.
