Back in the groove.

The kids have started school! Well except for Spencer, he started August 17th.~ Emmy is a big highschooler now and started her first day of seminary today. I enjoyed going to the seminary fireside with her and remembering my time as a seminary student. She got up well this morning , had an ego waffle and away we went. I'm excited for her to learn about the Old testament this year. She'll probably be able to teach me a thing or too before the year is up. Joseph likes his teacher and is starting off well with a planner and doing his first project on immigration. Celia seems to like her new class and is doing well with Mrs. Franklin who was her summer school kinder boot camp teacher. Celia was excited to earn a paws(positive attitude) ticket. She realized you can earn little toys with those. We are bringing snack next week and she is quite happy in her new class. What big kiddos we have. I love how they are good students and want to learn and grow. I have them reading from 3:30 - 4pm each day and music practice for Emmy at 4pm and we make dinner together at 5pm while the tutoring is going on. We love to spend time with each of our children and see a real benefit to them( and me) when the have a structured day. We drove by beautiful places around here with Spence on some rides and stopped by his school. He was excited then sad when we didn't stay. Two more days and then all will be in order again with the kiddos in school.:)
