Settling in

Our week began with a bang...literally. On our way home Monday from the lake we were involved in a minor traffic accident. It was our fault, but no one was hurt. We had been counting John Deere sightings on our way home, and as we resumed the trip after the crash HT announced, "Seventeen John Deeres and one boom boom." The van should be going in for repairs this week. We also babysat extra kids on Wednesday, and other than that we are settling in for back to school. The kids enjoyed an afternoon at the pool yesterday and were also able to see who their teachers will be for the coming year. I'm sure they are all going to have a good year. I'm not really ready for the rigorous schedule that school brings, but I am looking forward a bit to a routine and some quieter afternoons!
