Making a Come Back.

I've been feeling the need to make a comeback! Today was the first day of school in our neck of the woods, so I figured I'd start a new on the blog as well. We wrapped up a fun summer yesterday, one I hope to re-visit here on the blog, and moved swiftly into school mode. The first day of school is the equivilant of a holiday in my mind. It's full of antisipation, excitement, new clothes and me holding the camera.

This year was no different. We kicked of the new year last night with a "back to school" dinner & family night. The older kids recieved hand written letters from mom and a Fathers blessings from dad. It actually ended up being a pretty cool evening at the Dowdle's.

Then off to bed....and back up bright & early!

Ty is happy to be starting the Fourth Grade, you just won't know it because he hasn't smiled for the camera since he finished the second grade....

 and Brooklyn is a little nervous to be going ALL DAY LONG as a first grader!

It's nice to send them off together knowing they'll look out for each other......

at least that's what I assumed until this afternoon when Ty got off the bus without his little sister??? When questioned he said, " I don't know what happened, I was trying to get the back seat on the bus." 

No worries. She showed up only minutes later with a neighbor, and we had a nice chat about waiting for your sister over homemade granola bars and milk.

Happy first day to you,

It's nice to be back!

Great to hear from you. Happy first day of school. We don't start until after Labor day. I thought like you did that the oldest would look after the little ones which they didn't and we had the same talk you did. Funny how that happens.

Happy days ahead.

I wish to show my appreciation to you just for rescuing me from this type of crisis. Because of exploring through the online world and seeing recommendations which are not powerful, I thought my life was done. Living without the presence of solutions to the difficulties you have solved by way of your main posting is a serious case, as well as the kind which could have in a negative way affected my career if I had not come across your web site. That capability and kindness in touching almost everything was priceless. I don't know what I would have done if I had not encountered such a point like this. It's possible to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for your professional and result oriented guide. I won't think twice to refer your site to any individual who should have support on this subject matter.
