Here we are, Back to School. I can hardly believe it!
But first, a relaxed, cutie-pie Adren just strumming his guitar, telling me more about his HEFY adventures and plans and thoughts. I love him.
Eli is starting his JUNIOR year at Provo High School.
Adren is starting his SENOR year at Provo High School.
Paisley is starting her FRESHMAN year at Provo High School.
Then they all drove away in the kid car together...
Now Zeke is starting SEVENTH grade at Dixon Middle School.
This is a significant year for the Geertsen kids. New schools for Paisley and Zeke. No more Lakeview Elementary. All kids get up and out the door and take the bus on their own. I don't even need to get out of bed anymore! I just holler that I love them and to have a great day!
Adren attended his first Senior activity. The Senior Sunrise. You can't see Adren, but I know he's there, wrapped in a blanket surrounded by friends.
I love Zeke in his school clothes, making an after school snack.
We've just learned Lake Tahoe is on fire! This is the beautiful Emerald Bay we were just visiting. Praying for the best!
Grandpa Geertsen bakes zucchini bread for Eli because he loves it so. Everyone loves it, but Eli always gets his very own loaf. I saw him leave to a friends on his skateboard with his loaf in hand munching away. It's real sweet.
Something else real sweet is Paisley stepping in as my date for Jon and I's anniversary. He came home on our day with a migraine, poor guy. I took Paisley to dinner instead. We discovered a delightful sushi place right in Provo and had the best time. Jon and I were able to celebrate the next day, our favorite kind of date: Dinner and a Movie! Happy 22!
Another delightful thing that comes with September is these gorgeous black-eyed-susans that line the ditch along Geneva Road. I mentioned to Paisley and Jon while they were heading out on errands one day to stop and snip some if they felt so inclined. They inclined.
What a cheery September!
