first day of school


a quick note to share our first day of school (which is always the day after labor day in oregon).  this is a household event but this year an even bigger deal as lucy started kindergarten!!  our youngest is now at the 'big kid' school.... holy crap when did that happen?!

she was super excited... and maybe just a little bit nervous (but it helps that she has been walking in that school everyday for the past 3 yrs with her brother).   i on the other hand, got a little choked up....man these milestones are hard for a mama!  lucy just put on her new backpack gave us a hug and was off!


riley was more excited for lucy than anything else (which was pretty sweet).....but of course was thrilled to see his best buds (who all ended up in the same class).  he posed for the obligatory 'first day of school picture' and he too was off....


todd and i celebrated our first kid-free morning by going on a hike. and not just any hike but a hard, switchback, NOT kid-friendly hike.... and well worth the climb as we were rewarded with stunning views of the gorge.  it was lovely.


happy first days of school to you!!

p.s......there are a couple end of summer posts (we were literally too busy to blog) that i still mean to get out so stay tuned!!
