the week of Emmy and high school

This guy started high school on Monday!  I can't even believe it!


Bryce decided on the morning of the first day of school that he needed a haircut, ha!  We went that evening and then took round 2 of first day of school pictures. 


We deemed this week "the week of Emmy" since she had another week of summer vacation, and she had some missed time to make up for since she spent a lot of her summer at the gym or in the car taxiing Bryce places. 


On Monday I took the girls shopping, to lunch and to get their nails done.  


On Tuesday I took Emmy and her friends and soon to be classmates to the pool.  We had the place to ourselves since most everybody is back in school. 


On Wednesday, Emmy got invited to go shopping with the "big girls".  She felt so special to be included.  Then she got her back to school haircut.  


After an initial orthodontist consult (we learned she was ready for braces and could have gotten them on that day) we headed to Kings Dominion to meet friends.  Roller coasters are way better than braces.  She's getting them on Monday instead. 


It was HOT on Friday so we met friends for ice cream for lunch. 


Bryce had a decent week of school and had fun with friends all weekend (including jet skiing).  


This morning Emmy played Amazing Grace during communion, and she did a great job.  The kids enjoyed laser tag for youth group tonight!


Emmy goes to her open house tomorrow and then she's off to middle school on Tuesday.  I'd say it was a successful week and she's more than ready for school to start.
