1st day of school a day late

So summer is over, I'm walking, and life is slowly getting back to normal.  

I literally haven't blogged since I started walking.  Life just took over so that

whatever time I had on the computer I chose to work on my new passion of family history.

Yesterday was actually the first day of school for my kiddos.

But I don't know if it really counts if it's only 3 hours long (short).

Bekah and Matthew started early morning seminary (a church class) 

at 5:45 before heading to high school. 

Needless to say, I didn't see them cause I was still in bed counting Z's.  I leave it up to Dad

to make sure they get out the door.  Thank you Dad!!

My job is to help Esther and Abby.  Unfortunately, I totally forgot to

take pictures of both of them as they left, but I did remember to take a pic of Abby, 

our 2nd grader, at school before she went to class.

Abby's best friend.

This is our official 1st (2nd?) day of school picture I took this morning.

They are both getting so tall!!

What did I do today to "celebrate" while they were gone for a complete school day?

Rachel and I got pedicures and went to lunch.

Finally, my feet look good!

Now, maybe I should get the house looking good too!?
