School-Again!

Summer has gone by way too fast. We had a great trip in July to Alaska. After that Delaney attended a piano camp at Utah State University. Both girls then took a 3-week summer P.E. & a summer band class. We wrapped up the end of all that with the death of Darren's aunt, Gaye, and the marriage of our niece, Nicole. Now, we are officially back in the swing of school, and I can't say that I am complaining! We had SO much going on over the summer that it is kind of nice to be in a regular schedule again.

I wanted to post a couple of pictures so you can see what "regular" life is like for us!

Delaney is back to her nightly homework routine. She is now equipped with a new laptop computer that is "ice blue" (matches her glasses). She saved her cold hard cash to pay for half of the computer because I'm a tightwad!

Addy actually has to read again now that school has started. Unlike her older sister, she doesn't particularly enjoy reading. She would rather spend her time making earrings or playing with friends.
Once home from school I quickly change out of my super-teacher costume (something other than sweatpants & a t-shirt) so I can cook dinner, help the kids with homework, correct papers that I can't get done at school because I have 32 students this year, throw in a load of wash, and pay some bills (among other things).

Princess is doing the same thing she always does-ruin my couch with her fat belly and shedding hairs.

And finally, the "master" of the house doing what he does best-reclining!
