labor day

The kids and I spent the long holiday weekend at the lake, but I forgot my camera!  Bummer.  We had a great time.  Highlights included fishing, playing in the camper and catching frogs.  We were all sad when it was time to go.  Now we're getting in the routine that comes with September.  Olivia started kindergarten yesterday and enthusiastically reported, "It was GREAT!"  Donovan starts preschool next week.  Olivia will begin attending American Heritage Girls next week.  Also starting next week is AWANA, our Wednesday evening kids program at church.  Both kids are old enough to participate this year and I am volunteering.  My basement update is nearly done, just in time to dive into all this activity.  It looks to be a busy, but good fall ahead of us.
