Where did Summer of 2012 go?

Here we are at the beginning of a new school year?  Didn't school just get out for the Summer?  Not sure where that went.

As I realize the last post  was November 2011 and it was our family photo shoot, I'm a little embarrassed that it was so long ago.  I am not sure where the time has gone, but it is gone!

We are in the process of finishing our back, back yard (I call it "The Orchard", not because it is big, but because we have Cherry Trees and Walnut Trees and they were planted a very long time ago).  I am not very good at remembering to take the "before" pictures, so I guess you'll have to wait to see the finished product at this time (you'll just have to use your imagination and think  "dirt and weeds".

Logging on to post a blog and add a new favorite website, I realized they have changed the site...when did that happen?  And to think, I was just getting the hang of the old way. I guess I will just have to get on here more often, so I can "learn" where and what to do with blogging!

Ry is excited to be back in school (or is it Mom that is excited)......now officially at the High School.  She was busy this summer with Church Activities, Online classes, piano and spending time with friends.   Linz has received her Degree from College and is looking for new adventures/more schooling in the near future. She has also become a Marathon Maniac and ran several Marathons and 1/2 Marathons this summer! I think this was her first summer of actually having a summer!  We are proud of our girls and the choices they make and the joy they bring to our family!
