So.. nothing has changed. It has been 2 months since my last post. How ridiculous is that!
Summer was so uneventful for the Schmoll family. Obviously we went on a wet family vacation to Orlando.
After that we just kinda hung out here, at home, in the air conditioned house. Emily and I worked at summer school. It was only 15 days, and Emily enjoyed the kids. Once summer school was out.... the summer heat was in FULL motion here in St Louis. It was so hot, we just couldn't venture out too often.
We found our way to a couple of movies, and we went to the orchard to pick peaches and blackberries, and we hung out at home. I had a few fun photo shoots and a couple of weddings to photograph.
That is about it.... sad as that may be. It was just TOO HOT !
Now summer is over. (I am sad). School started last week and now the countdown to next summer will begin (167 school days). (Yes I am counting).
Emily and Jake are starting their Sophmore and 8th grade years. I can't believe that! Emily is so focused on school and she is so excited for the school year. Jake is, well, Jake. He likes school, he missed his friends and is excited to hang out with them again..... but he really enjoyed his video game/computer filled summer.
I am back in my office, already seeing the same "frequent flyers" that I saw last year ( yup, only day 2 and they are already visiting). My office partner is wonderful, she is fun to be around and I feel like she is always a wealth of knowledge. I know we are going to have a good year.
Well, I hate to admit it, but there is not much else to catch up on. I will try to keep updates more frequent....but no promises.
Here are some snapshots of the first day of school....
