School Days!

Today was the first day of school. How cute are they?! Emil Michael is a Senior, Kirstin a Freshman and Noah's in 5th grade. Emil M. and Kirstin will start seminary next week so they get to sleep in a bit until then. Seminary starts at 6:30 in the morning! However they both wanted to get to school early today so they left at 7:20 this morning. I'm sure they just wanted to visit will all their friends. At least they didn't have to worry about a parking space!

Noah was upset when I took out the book he had in his backpack. It was about 4 inches thick and weighted around 5 pounds. I thought it was a bit heavy for a school day. So he went off sulking a bit.

After the kids left I had some friends over for a Back to School Brunch and we visited until around 1pm. None of us planned to be that long it's just been ages since we've gotten to visit uninterrupted. It was so nice!

Check out Blaze, she sits like this all the time. It cracks me up.

I had locked Blaze back in my room so she wouldn't bother our brunch and when I went to let her our she was sleeping on my bed!!!! She jumped right down and acted very contrite but who are we kidding? You know she was like,

"Fine you lock me in your room and guess where I'm sleeping!!"

I just had to include this picture of our neighbor and friend Jeff. This is the typical morning attire for the bus drop. He's even in school colors, Red and Black!

You're styling Jeff.
