Back to School

What, 4th grade you say? Yep, Zachary and Ellie are officially 4th graders. Summer vacation is over. Gone. Finished. Final. We had ourselves a doozy, and enjoyed every minute of it. This was quite a summer. Most definitely filled to the brim with family fun! Now, we look forward to a new action packed and interesting year for the twins in 4th grade. I have a good feeling about this year. Ellie is (of course) very eager, excited and ready to begin 4th grade and will do so with ease. Zachary is ready to take another vacation! But I know my little guy, and he will make it through the challenges that lay ahead with his feisty attitude, sense of humor and witty charm. Wish them both luck this year. I love you, Zachary and Ellie.


Ellie and her teacher, Miss Bailey. You can bet, Zach did NOT want a picture at the school with his teacher Mr. Schutte. But, Darn it I tried.

WOW how BIG my TWINS are getting.
Papa can remember the FOURTH GRADE and it was ALOT OF FUN but my teacher wasn't as cute as ELLIE's. I know Zach will do well with his MAN teacher. I can tell that Ellie and Zachary are going to be very serious students this year. Of course AVEE will excell as usual!
I love you all. PAPA

The first day of school can't be here already! They had such a fun filled summer. What cute pictures all dressed for their 1st day of school. Ellie is so grown up with her cute teacher. Zachary will remember the start of this year, hopefully with his only orange cast and a man teacher. We hope they have a great 4th grade year learning all about Nebraska. We love you! Love Grandma & Grandpa

Back to school already? I'm so jealous, we still have one more week. You guys did have a really fun summer, jam packed from beginning to end! Z gets to be the cool kid who has a souvenir of his summer vacation with his bright orange cast. Your kids are getting so big, and I think looking more and more like you everyday - at least the twins, Avery is of course Jeff's daughter!
