Where Did Summer Go??

Wow did the summer go by fast. Lottie and Madeline go back to school in the morning. We all went to Open House tonight and met their teachers- Madeline has Mrs. Harris for first grade- the same teacher Lottie had, and Lottie has Mrs. Lingle. We are thrilled with what Oakland will offer them this year! Rich and I got a nice speech from one of the teachers commenting on our being "mature adults" in that we both attend the girls school functions, so I punched Rich on the shoulder and asked him how it felt to be a "mature adult "!

I took the girls down to Atlanta for four days of school clothes shopping and had a blast. It is so interesting how different their personalities are. We loved staying in a hotel and eating at a lot of places we don't have in Ellijay. I tried to steer them towards a museum but was out voted and we went to the large American Girl shop (and bought dolls) instead. It was really nice- I may have played with dolls when I was a kid if they had American Girl back then.
