Last days of summer, 1st days of school


Whew!  Barely squeeked in an August entry.  We're in our 2nd week of school, and the last year that both CNMs are in middle school.  What?!  That can't be right...



Yep, it is right.  This young man is an 8th grader and will rule the school this year.  Here he is reviving his reading skills with a little bit of help from Thneed, the cat who adores him almost as much as she adores Mummy.



To close out the amazing summer of travel for the boys, Carson got his turn with Grandma for a Road Scholar trip.  These are some of the friends he made.



They went to Sanibel Island, Florida to learn about the island ecosystem and do some fun snorkelling.  The boys (and Grandma) are treated so well during these trips!



We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.  Anytime Carson gets to climb or run, he is a happy kid. 



They even left their comfort zone a bit and got upclose and personal with some Florida swamps.  No aligator sightings, thank goodness.  A huge thank you to Grandma for these amazing adventures!



School is in full swing, the summer is fading away with some lovely, unseasonably mild weather, and we're looking forward to a great acadeic year.  It is a little too intense to think that this time next year will be our intro to Free State High, but we really think this fine young fella will be ready!
