Back to School

So I realize that I haven't posted much in the last few weeks. My apologies. Things get a little crazy at the end of August when you are a teacher. It is like all those weeks of leisure get through aside and you a thrown into the frenzy of getting ready for a new school year.  It all becomes a little frantic. I did realize that my quiet combine with the recent visit of tropical storm Irene to Vermont has cause a few people to worry about our safety. Fear not my loyal readers we are fine. With the exception of a few flattened flowers we suffered no ill effects from the storm. Which is much less than can be said for others in our state. For us things have moved ahead at the usual pace. All of the preparations for the first day of school. Today was the first day for both Chloe and Alexa. Alexa started kindergarten today. I am not sure how it happened, but it did. Chloe begins third grade. Grammie Eva was kind enough to be here to help out this week (Aunt Andrea was here last week). Grammie escorted the girls off to their first day of school today and took some pictures. I took the first few of the girls at home before I left for work today.
