Back to School 2016

The kids started back to school the 29th of August and it has been crazy.  After spending all day with them every day it was bitter sweet for me to take all three to the school for 6 1/2 hours every day.  Mostly bitter as I couldn't stop crying on the first day as soon as we all loaded into the car.  I can't believe the amount of things I've been getting done every day now though.  I have made a list of about 50 blog posts I have to catch up on and am determined to do so before Christmas so I can order all the blog books for my family to read.

So here we go!  

We missed back to school night because Dustin and I were on our hike but we have had all three of these teachers before so we felt ok about missing it and kinda knew what to expect.

Their good dad gave them a Priesthood blessing Sunday night in preparation for the new school year.  All the kids sat very reverently and I can tell they were excited to continue this tradition for the first time ever.  They normally drag their feet a bit but the Spirit was felt by all in our little living room as blessings were left on each of their sweet heads.

The saddest part about this is they look so old to me in these pictures and in a few months when school gets out and we compare the pictures they are going to look so young in these photos.  Time flies!
