Back to School

It's been "Back To School Week" at our house. It was VERY obvious that Mommy was more excited about this than anyone else! LOL!

Samuel moved up to a new school this year. He's been very excited all Summer. Last Thursday night we went to his open house and by the end he was totally overwhelmed. So, come Monday morning he was pretty nervous. But I just kept reminding him that he wasn't the only new 3rd grader and that everyone else would probably be feeling the same way. Of course, he wound up having a great first day and week.

Noah and Grace both had good weeks too. They seem to like their new teachers and we had no major incidents! Yeah!!!

So we're getting back into the swing of things and it's nice to be back in a routine.

I've been trying to scrap pictures from this week. The more I get into digiscrapping the more I realize how much better my layouts would look if I use PhotoShop. So I downloaded their free 30-day trial a few days ago and have been working with it and trying to learn all I can. It has a pretty high learning curve. But I think I've learned the basics and have been able to complete a few pages. It really does make a big difference in how they look. The one problem is that I don't really have enough memory on my computer so it runs really slow. It's very frustrating and I hope to get that worked out. So it's been hard to crank out the layouts like I would like too. I'll post the back to school ones as I get them done.

First up is Grace!
