Hopin' to put this miserable summer to rest...

Eeek.  I've been neglecting my poor blog. 

It's been CRAZY busy lately.  This last week or so I've been working 12+ hour days trying to get ready for school.  Even on weekends!  This will slow down SOON (I hope!)  Yesterday was the first day of school, and even though it was totally NUTS, it was kind of nice to get back in the swing of things.  Here are my three kiddos on the first morning:

Gage is a SIXTH grader this year.  I'm not sure how that happened.  My baby girl is a fifth grader, and little Cole (who isn't so little anymore) is a third grader.  (Time goes by way too fast!)  All three had a great first day, and even woke up this morning looking forward to another day at school.

I have to admit, I was looking forward to school starting just so I could put this miserable summer behind me.  This summer was nonstop stress.  Nonstop misery.  So with the start of school, I'm hoping & praying, will bring a fresh new start all around.  We shall see.
