Today was the day!! We launched Flood Academy (not sure what to call our little school. Suggestions?) Because it was not only the first day of school, but also the first day of homeschool, I made pancakes for breakfast. This made the children putty in my hands, an unexpected, yet wonderful, reward for my efforts. Actually, the day went really well. We're easing into things this week with math, reading, and phonics. Next week we'll add on everything else. Since it was so cold this morning (what is up with that on August 31?!), we did back-to-school photos after lunch.
Charlotte shows off her new backpack (yes, she'll need one for our Co-Op enrichment school)
Both kids and their backpacks (I need to have a chat with Eric about his, uh, "cool" face.)
The kids were not having anything to do with touching each other for a "together" photo...
....until I pleaded with them. Eric makes it look like a painful experience.
I think they've had enough of me and my camera.

I am making pancakes now, praying for putty in my hands!! Enjoy your day. It was really great to spend time with you this past weekend.

Thanks Barb! I hope pancakes were as well-received by your kids as they were by mine! :-) And I agree....this weekend was really wonderful, and I enjoyed the time spent with such a great group of women!
Good luck on your new chapter in life! I love seeing pictures of the kids, they have really grown and changed over the summer!
I miss not hearing from you as much as I used to!
