First Day of School



The kids made it back safely and are ready for school. They were up at 4:30 because of the thunderstorms. Aubree fell out of bed because the noise scared her. They finally went back to bed but were soon up again at 6:00 am, they made there own lunches, beds, and set the table for breakfast. Do you think they were excited? They still rode their bikes despite all the rain. I can't believe summer is over already.

Casey is doing good. His counts are at 0.2 which is awesome. He will have his bone marrow biopsy on Wednesday. Hopefully the results will be great!

We are praying for great results on Wednesday, and wish your kids all the best with a new school year!

Hey! Casey's parents can really move. If our friend Lou from the self defense place falls through on Wednesday, maybe you could arrange for your in-laws to come teach the young women a few moves!

I am so proud. You got your first day of school pics on before I did. I suck. i just wrote about myself today. I think Jenny's idea is great!

Brianne said...

I hardly recognize your kids, they are getting so big! It has been way too long since we have seen them. We miss you guys!!!!

Jill said...

Good grief your kids are getting big! Aubree hardly looks like the toddler I knew when you guys were living in Utah.

Best wishes to Casey. I feel your pain. No, really. I do. I tried to get out of those. I only succeeded in delaying one. (I exaggerated a popped hip) I don't recommend my methods. They didn't work. Rude.

I'm still holding out for you to sport a biker-type bandana. I think it would look smashing. No allusions to the upcoming test intended.

Lani I feel bad I didn't get much of a chance to talk to you this morning at breakfast. What are the gate codes again--I've forgotten already! Don't worry about visiting teaching--I'm sure we can get special permission from Jill to allow visits via blogging! I bet it's great having your kids back. Zachary did come home today and thought it was cool that he and Max have the same lunchbox! Good luck on Wednesday Casey and that's awesome about his low counts :)

Jim said...

We will be thinking of you during your Wednesday procedure. That is fantastic news on your counts. Thanks again for allowing us all to be connected via the blog. - Jim, Joanne and family

Why is Aubree holding paper towels?

Meg & Josh said...

Glad to see they made it, despite the rain. Didn't sound like it went as smoothly down the street at the Johnsons.

Good luck with the Biopsy! You are in our prayers.

Lets all forgive Brianne for her ignorance and sacrilage of the afamed and sacred paper towels on the first day of school. You will soon find out, Brianne. We are jealous that your kids have a first day of school. Thanks, Chad for having your wedding the first week of our kids school. I guess we'll just use the Nish picture for their scrapbooks. They sure look cute. Keep up the low counts, man. Good luck tomorrow.

Casey you're in our prayers today!! I love that Aubree is holding paper towels in the picture- typical first day of school supplies! I am looking for another good series of books Lani, I'll let you know if I find one. If you find one please do share!!

Kim Marx said...
