Every year, I have a back to school tea party for the girls. This year, I decided low-key (ie...no friends!) would be good. The menu: chocolate covered strawberries, pretzels, chai tea & bugels. We had fun talking school....what they remember about their past years of school, some of my memories, & what they think school might be like when they are moms or grandmas. Ella will tell anyone who asks that she is NOT looking forward to school. Claire, on the other hand, is counting the minutes. Both are super students and good friends in their classes, even if Ella won't admit it! Backpacks are packed and clothes all picked out. Hope this momma can hear the alarm and wake in plenty of time. At bedtime, Claire prayed, "& please help momma all day at home with the boys." Amen, sister!

Did you start school this week? We don't start in Minnesota until after Labor Day. Emily is just as excited as Ella to start school. Sam is like Claire, can't wait. Mom is definitely ready for school to start! We liked the American Girls at the party, they were so cute. Karen
You are such a good mama, Pam.
