If I Could Put Time in a Bottle...

Well...school was out for the summer...it flew by...and school's back in for the fall! In fact, Christmas is creeping up on me and is already in full swing at Kohls!!! Really??? Can we get through Halloween first? And maybe enjoy a little Thanksgiving?? I digress...

The summer flew by with my kiddos enjoying time spent with Grandma and Grandpa again this summer at Camp Dixon. Loving every minute. We did our annual Holiday World excursion, bringing on the Renbargers and vowing to do it again next year!

We welcomed school back with a fourth grader and a sixth grader (gasp!) who have slid back into the routine somewhat seamlessly. And I returned to work at the preschool full time after a summer part time hiatus. Life, as they say, is good.

Carter has joined the band. He felt the tuba calling his name. We hear him plugging away on it upstairs, and occasionally see him marching back and forth with it across the catwalk.

Maggie is full force in cross country (XC, as she calls it) right now. She's a good little runner. She's also loving a hip hop dance class that she is taking. We're not sure if she'll be on the dance team at ASU or running track! : )

Frank is recovering from his bike vs. truck accident in July and is anxious to get back on the bike. Crazy man. Good for him, I guess... I'm not so anxious for him, but I won't stand in his way.

And I'm still working at Monkey Preschool! It's growing by leaps and bounds, and I'm daily throwing around the idea of expansion. Scary, yes. Exciting, yes. Crazy, maybe. Some days I'm all for it and other days I'm too exhausted to even entertain the idea!! We'll see...

That's the fall update on the Lorenz fam! I'm trying to get back to this blog. No promises...life seems to always get in the way!!
