Back to School 2014

We had a great summer, but it was time to head back to school last week.  Jack is in kindergarten (sigh) and Joe is in the 2nd Grade (another sigh).  The boys both love their new teachers and it is so fun to have them with me!

Summer 2014 - Week 11

I went back to work last week, but the boys had one more week before school started.  We went camping over the weekend and also celebrated Aunt Jenny's 40th Birthday at Mt. Fugi!

Summer 2014 - Week 10

This was my last week at home with the boys for the summer :-(. We ended with a bang!  The four of us went to a cabin in the mountains by Leadville. It was a lot of fun!
"Uncle Bud's Hut" - Sleeps 17 but we had it all to ourselves!
