August is here again and with that we begin a new school year and for us a couple of 'lasts'. This year Samuel begins his 5th grade year which will be his last year of elementary school and John Michael begins Pre-K which is his last year of preschool. Both boys were excited to get started with this new chapter of their lives.

John Michael on his first day of Pre-K - August 8th.
Samuel loves his teacher, Mrs. Weeks, and we are so excited to have her. We have heard great things and are looking forward to a great year. John Michael got Mrs. Jackie and I can't even begin to describe how excited I was when I heard this. She is awesome and he adores her! It's going to be an awesome year for both of our boys and I can't wait to see how they learn and grow this year.
We spent the final day of summer vacation at the lake swimming and tubing.
The first few weeks of school have been great. We have enjoyed getting back in a routine. Samuel is playing flag football and his baseball team played and WON a tournament a couple of weekends ago. We made a trip to Kentucky last weekend for Labor Day and had a fabulous time catching up with some wonderful friends. We had a final summer hoo-rah at Holiday World/Splashin Safari in Santa Clause, Indiana and went Apple-picken at Reids Orchard on a nice windy, cool, Fall-like day. More on that later.
