Off to a running start...

The month of August has started off with a bang! It seems like the days are all blurs of school work, homework, practices, papers, laundry, packing and repacking bags for each day... and then repeat! We started off the month with a visit from Mimi and Papa.  Then quickly got right back into the swing of school routines, had 1st grade orientation, some fishing, sunday school promotion, a road race, school shopping, and a birthday for Nana. *Warning: picture heavy!
