I know its been at least a week since I've blogged and that's due to unfortunately not having internet for the whole week. But, we are finally back up and running. Woo hoo.
Catch up news: Stella had her first day of school today. Yay. This summer has seemed to drag on and on and I think she was just as excited to start school as I was for her. We had about a two hour long parent briefing this morning and I was so excited about all the great opportunities Stella is going to have at this academy. They even have a "learn how to study hour" incorporated into their day. And, I have joined the PTA, eeeekkkk. :)
Sorry this post is little random and all over place but I'm running through what's happened in the last week or so.
Stella had a great trip to visit family over this last holiday weekend. She got to fly to NY to spend time with her dad, step mom, brother, uncles, aunts, cousins and grandma and grandpa. She had a blast.
Troy and I spent the time she was gone organizing our place and our storage space in anticipation of moving into out new place (Oct 1). We also got to spend some time at Burke (Troy's almamater) watching Jordan play soccer.. For those of you who don't know Troy has two daughters, Jordan 14, and Taylor 16. Jordan goes to a ski academy in Vermont named Burke (about an hour 15 from our house) and Taylor lives with her mom about an hour in the opposite direction from us.

Again a little random grouping of pictures but I guess if I had to pick a theme it would be introducing the girls and Stella's last few days of summer vacation. SO much more to catch up on but I'll have to throw that together some other time. I'm off to take Stella to swim team practice.
Sending out much love.
