Back at It

School has started and we packed the final week of vacation full of some school stuff and some family stuff.  We did head back to EC for a convention of the families.  Grandprize had a freshly built stage waiting for the kids and a pool filled with sun soaked water.  Merrick was in the water immediately and Jacob quickly added a bass to the pool as well.  We did head home before the holiday Monday to finish up the preparations for school, having stared earlier in the week with "meet the teacher" events.  Both the kids are in differing schools now with Sophia having moved up to a larger building.  I think it will be another great year for both of them, given the excitement both of their teachers showed.  Sophia is going to start the year on crutches, having smacked into a tree near a rope swing. Nothing broken, but badly bruised and will take a couple days to heal up.  Hopefully in time for the coming hunting season that we are all getting excited.  The peach tree also yield its fruit.  That isn't poetic license, we only produced a single peach again this year, but it was quite delicious; the squirrels having eaten the rest.  The two pears are still on their way and looking good.  The brownie pan with ice cream scoops on top was last Monday's dinner.  Forgot to pam the pan and eating them directly was the only way to get them out.
