First Day of School

 After a summer that completely flew by, the kids entered a new school year!  Liv started Kindergarten and Peyton started 4th grade.
The night before school, Olivia's new teacher had an envelope for her to open before she went to bed. A note and some confetti to put under her pillow to help her get a good night's rest before her first day.  Peyton had something similar before he started Kindergarten too.

The kids had free dress on the first day which they were happy about. 
My gorgeous Kindergartner!
4th grade! Crazy


Homework...they get to it right when they get home so they can play
First formal mass day...love seeing them dressed up nice. 
Here's to a great school year!

Duckpond Cellars

Our good friends Meggan and Jimmy invited Molly and us out to the Duckpond winery in Dundee where Jimmy was playing in his band, Jafco.  We so needed this time away after a trying couple of weeks.  It was so nice to relax outside, drink wine, chat and listen to some jams.  Afterward we headed home, picked our kids up and hung out together for the rest of the night.  Thankful for good friends!

They were so good!
Tasted a batch of amazing Pinot Noir
Wine grapes everywhere



Love these two beauties!
