first day of school

was tuesday.
and here they are in their annual 1st day of school picture by the front door...

this summer was so busy with the house remodel and move (almost!),
and i have not yet fully completed the summer snapshot series posts.
but was able to do most of them before things got really crazy these last couple weeks.

we took the kids to brunch on monday to celebrate their last day of summer...

dad even came and met us from work.
then the kids went and hung out with friends before we headed to the dr. for check-ups.

in other news, john john asked if he could make his own pb&j this week...

and the kitchen remodel/addition is coming along beautifully...

just wait until you see the before pictures.
things are wrapping up over there,
and we are living amongst boxes getting ready for the big move.
can't wait to get in and get settled, perfect timing with school starting and
football try-outs starting next week - for 2 of my kids this year!
