Back to School(?)

Wow...so that's the summer?? We've done our back-to-school shopping and Anyssa is ready to enter the first grade. First grade...wow...how time flies. After 1 and a half years as a kindergartener, she's ready to take the plunge. A full day of school. This summer was kind of crazy (when are they not?) and it's hard to think that it's almost over. Sure, the calendar says that summer continues until September but when you've got kids, summer is dictated by school. What's funny is that when I was a kid, school NEVER started this early! I mean, c'mon...she was out in MAY!! The world has gone wacky!!

Ye Ye (grandpa) is out of the hospital and home (albeit with a cast on his leg) and Uncle Bob is back IN the hospital (with a large bandage on his hand.) Anyssa has been a one-girl support system doing her best to raise smiles and feeling wherever she can. When she climbs on top of Uncle Bob while he's in a hospital bed, it's hard to not smile...even if you've just had major hand surgery.

Anyway, after an afternoon of jumping at the Jump Zone, she's howering and is getting ready for dinner. The word is that I'm grilling so I'd better get the grill ready...I just heard the shower turn off.

See you soon...school pictures will be posted soon!
