back to school

Before covid, our school system always started school the Tuesday after Labor Day.  After covid, we had lots of students going back to a school building for the first time so they started staggering the first day of school.  Because our kids are not new to their schools, they didn't have to go back until Wednesday.  We tried to hold on to summer as long as we could so we went out to dinner and got ice cream on Tuesday night before school started!


This is Emmy's last first day of elementary school.  See below for a fun school picture.  Next year she goes to middle school. 


This is Bryce's last first day of middle school. 


These two make us so proud and man they're cute!


Because this is the year of lasts, here is Emmy on her first day of elementary school and her last first day of elementary school.


Bryce's first day of middle school and his last first day of middle school.  I personally love his hair!  He has great hair.  Fun fact which isn't fun at all, Jason cut his bangs before school started and ruined them so I took him for a quick fix.  The stylist said it would take a couple of haircuts to fix them, but he's managing.  


They took these fun pictures at school. 


Emmy had piano and gymnastics on the first day of school.  Bryce typically has baseball the same night but it was cancelled because of rain.  We were able to celebrate the first day around 8:30 with ice cream!


After gymnastics on Saturday we took Emmy to Ashland to walk around, watch the trains, and enjoy the small town vibe.  I always tell Jason I want to retire here.  


Bryce was living his best life this weekend.  He went to a high school football game on Friday night and then he got to go Blacksburg for the Virginia Tech game on Saturday night.  


It was a rainy tailgate, but it was fun!


Thankful to be friends with our kids' friends' families!!


Nothing like a free turkey leg after the game!


Jason and Emmy and I enjoyed the game at home where it was dry!
