We’ll, we survived our near month long trip away from home. We had a fabulous time exploring in Canada and out west. Many incredible memories.

But sadly, we’re back in the grip of reality. onward and upward.

This kid started his first day of 8th grade yesterday. And his first week of baseball practice on the big fields. He’s now officially bigger than mom…and not by a little bit. Crazy, how fast life is moving.

The boy sure does love to fish. Here he is at my Aunt Suzy’s pond. He was super happy to catch this bass. And yesterday he received a neat package from Uncle Dick. It was Uncle Larry’s tackle box. He’s going to cherish that for a life time.

As we head into fall, I’m happy for new beginnings for Zachary. Bigger fields. New Classrooms. Happy New School Year.
