Back to school

Well it's 8am and Labor Day (which, ironically means that no-one is working!) anyhoo...Phil and I are back into the Fall semester as of Wednesday gone, Eve is now fully immersed in her new pre-school in the mornings, and Sam goes back to school on Thursday! Yes, for the more astute, you'll realize that this week will be a touch tricky, but have no fear...Sam will be taking Exegesis in the Epistles with Professor Clint Arnold to pass the time of day, nothing like a bit of Greek to prep you for 3rd grade :o)

I took our lovely 2 out for an orange juice yesterday and asked them what the best bit of the summer has been. We walked through all the visitors, family and friends, then all the day trips and holiday clubs, oddities and Olympics, but out of eleven weeks of school drought and summer fun we have a final winner...(drum roll please!) And the winner is, a tie between;

• Taking Aunty Heather and Uncle Adrian to Chuck-E-Cheese, and
  
• our road trip to Pismo Beach, all on our very own.

Even talking about those two events made them giggle insanely, it was so sweet. So, now that we have some closure on the happy memories (though they won't be forgotten soon), we're moving on again to investing ourselves in; our studies, wholehearted community at seminary, at church and within our college LIFEgroups. September looks busy, very busy, but also very exciting. It starts today with an open house for all Talbot students; grill on, drinks chilling, picnic blankets out on the lawn and a big old smiles on our faces...roll on Autumn.
