Well, It's Over...

Well there you have it, folks.  Summer's officially over and four of the five kids are in school.  It's time to get back to blogging... or not.  I'm not making any promises.  Just pipe dreams.

Summer started out kicking my butt something fierce, as we were thrown into a rhythm-less chaos.  Then the long days made for long nights and we were cranky that the sun wasn't coming out.  But we went on a roadtrip or two, took some swimming lessons, did some art and constuction and got (somewhat, potentially) organized with our lives, redeeming the ongoing madness that is the Vonderhaus!

And here we are, at the first days of school....

Taylor starts 4th grade, Korah is officially a middle-schooler in 6th, and Morgen is a big girl in 1st grade!
Reuniting with friends...
...and long-lost pals!

(Mama, you can go now!  Stop taking pictures of us!)

Micah started KINDERGARTEN a few days later...
...with his little brother to see him off.  "CHEEEESH!"
He finds his cubby...
...pulls a little Mr. Rogers action and puts on his 'indoor shoes'...

...and he's ready to greet his beautiful teacher.  She's from Brazil.  She gave him a smooch on the forehead.  I love kindergarten here!

So sweet! I hope that the rhythm of the school year comes easy to you and all your littles. There is something so calming about the regularity of it. Fun as summer is, I'm breathing a sigh of relief. : )

I agree that when school starts, we get back into a different rhythm and some organization. I sure miss those kids. Thanks for sharing the first day of school pictures. They are so cute and are growing up way too fast. I send love and hugs:-)
