life

We're back to our normal routine in our house, getting up for seminary and school, then homework, dinner and whatever is going on that particular evening.  I have to admit it is nice to have a schedule again.  Tayler leaves at 7:30 now instead of 8:45.  It's great having longer mornings so I can work out and not feel rushed.  Reece, Kenzie and Tayler all like their new schools which is a relief.  You never know, but for this year they seem happy (minus all the homework : )  Piano starts this coming Thursday for the girls.  I will miss hearing Reece play but it will be SO nice not having to bug bug bug him to practice.  SO NICE! 

As you can see from Google's forecast below, Fall has officially arrived here in Maple Valley.  Usually Fall is my favorite season because of the crisp air combined with blue skies and leaves turning color.  Hmmm...  not so much this year.  Maybe October will make me happier.

There was a sunny day last week so I planned a trip to the park after school for school photos.  As luck would have it my sister called saying Scott had the day off and did I have time to take his senior pictures that afternoon?  Why yes I did!  Unfortunately Matthew DID have to work and I could NOT drag Reece there.  Ugh...  I'll have to do theirs later.
I love our little Lake Wilderness park.  So many great photo spots.  Here are (quite a few) of my favorites:
