Back To School They Go

Officially a 10th grader.

She is doing well in her classes so far and 

enjoying her school year. 

She is super excited that football season

has started.

Go Vikings!

These cuties!!!

1st, 3rd, and 5th! 

They are so big it makes me sad.

The big girls are now in the same school building and 

pick up the MiKayla everyday after school.

Each girl has their bestie in the same classroom.

They were thrilled.

MiKayla's teacher has already emailed me

letting me know what a rock-star student 

and what every teacher dreams of.

This big boy tags along every morning

 for school drop off and he LOVES it!

Per our usual first day of school tradition we had icecream.

So far so good.

Praying the school year continues

without any hiccups. 

End of Summer Visitors-Part 3-The Finally

And that's it!

That was a lot of pictures for a visit

that lasted from monday-thursday.

Pittsburgh trips included:

*the Zoo

*a picnic at the park

*Authentic French Bakery

*a walk around one of our very

old cemeteries

*the spray park

*the dancing waterfalls on the river walk

and finally a trip to the Point

which is where the three rivers meet.

It's right in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh

and one of our favorite places.

It was a jam packed fun visit.

Gabriella kept us extra busy and a little stressed.

All of the kids had a great time with their cousins.

I still can't believe Gramma and Sarah made the drive

and how fast the visit went.

I'm sure they are already planning their next drive up ;-))))
