Summer's Over - School's Back On!

Outside the Aquarium in New Orleans

Summer vacation is over and the kids are back in school. Although we didn't have a "real" vacation. We did get to go to New Orleans last week with the children's group from church. We saw a 3-D movie on Bugs. Mandy saw very little, since she cover her eyes through most of it. The aquarium was spectacular. I don't think I ever get tired of going there. To be that close to some of the largest fish and watch them is so facinating to me. OK the nerds coming out. Let's move on. Now that school back in session my goal is to keep this blog up-to-date. So here's what went on today: First day of school was great for Jake & Mandy. 2nd grade is gonna be awesome. Mrs. L. has a room that is cuter than cute! She is very talented and has set up her classroom to be the place to be! 10th grade may prove to be a little more of a challenge with A & P and Spanish this fall. Since we've moved up a grade, we had to move our drop off and pick up line to a busier area. Waiting for the bell to ring today took much longer than I would have liked, probably because it was so hot and no shade to park in on O'Bryan. Allowing the high schooler to ride home with friends is nice. One less errand to run. Although I have mixed feelings about entering this season of teenage driving. Well we have one more day for this week, enjoy a short weekend packed with a birthday party and 2nd Sunday fellowship. We are also having a ground breaking Sunday night for our new sanctuary. I'm sure we'll hit the ground running on Monday.
