First Day of School

Today is back to school!  Where did the summer go?  The kids are were all very excited/nervous, but sweet father's blessings helped to calm their nerves.  We had a great morning, but an early one with Merritt needing to be out the door at 7:25 to catch the bus.  We moved scripture study up to 6:30 and it worked like a charm!  I've never had such a smooth first-day-of-school morning.  Now I need to breeze through my chores, make cookies with Joseph for an after school treat, and wait for the first day report.
