Busy and Back to School!!

It's September 1st!  Wow!  It has been a little hectic getting back into the school routine (mostly just for me!), but God is good and we are just taking it a day at a time!  Here are a couple of recent photos.

Today we took a drive up into the mountains, near Nederland and into a State Park.  

It was beautiful!! (a bit windy and definitely getting chilly, feeling less like summer and more like fall!)

This morning we took Aliana's training wheels off her bike and within minutes she was riding like a pro! (high heels and all!!)

Last Thursday we started back to school!  Aliana had to wait until this past Tuesday but now we are all back into the groove!  The kids have wonderful teachers and some sweet friends in their classes - we feel very blessed!!

Finally, the weekend before school started, I competed in my first triathlon!  It was an all-women's / sprint distance.  I loved it!!  I trained most of the summer, borrowed all my gear from a girlfriend, and really enjoyed competing in something a little different!  Brian and the kids were a great cheer team :)
