Summer is over. School has started. We are back into the swing of things here in the city. The transition home this year has been a strange one. Bryan is with us which is unusual. (He was able to take Emmett to class on his first day of Kindergarten which was really important to him and was totally awesome.) Both boys are in school now so we are getting used to 2 lunches, 2 backpacks, 2 sets of paperwork, 2 packets of homework, etc... The strangest thing for me is that I don't feel like I have missed 3 months of time here. It honestly feels like I went out our back door and a few minutes later, entered our front door. Everything is the same - including the pace of life that we left. That's probably what gets me the most this time around. I TOTALLY appreciate the life we have at camp, the pace, the routine, the ease, the time with family. The boys are happy to be back but overwhelmed at the same time. There are night time fears that weren't there before and tears that come on all of a sudden. All in all though it is good to be home and everyone is rested, happy, and doing well.

A Side Note
In between Kodiak and Home, we made a pit stop in Anchorage to visit family. The weather was beautiful and we managed to make it to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. This was our second time to the fair and the kids just have a blast! Here are a few highlites. I went with the theme of "Everything in Alaska is Bigger!" (Texas, eat your heart out!)

Family Walk
We had beautiful weather yesterday. Took a walk to the end of the beach last night - braved the bugs! Leon put this little skiff
he has in the water and then took the boys for
a ride. Garett got to drive :) What an experience and another example of how cool our kids' lives are during the summer!
