First day of school.....

The kids are off to start their first day of school!  I just can't believe that summer is over already!  :(  Yesterday we had our annual picnic at Falls Park!  This is the 3rd year of doing that!  We packed a lunch and headed to the park, where Jason met us to eat and talk!  It was a beautiful day to be eating outside!  Then we headed to Walmart to get lunch box "supplies", then home to chill for the rest of the day!  We are back into a routine of early bedtimes, prayers and early mornings again!  This year we will once again start each morning with Ephesians 6:10-18 and a short prayer for a good day at school and traveling mercies on the bus.  The kids put on their full armour of God so that they can stand against whatever may come their way during the day!  The house is quiet and it is gloomy outside, so I am not sure what I am going to do to occupy myself today.  Perhaps today will be a day where I just curl up with a book and read until the kids get home.  It is an early out today, so they will be home around 2pm this afternoon.  For now I am going to savor my solitude and reflect on my life!  Enjoy the pictures from yesterday and today!
