It was a day and what a day it was.
Last night going through my old photos i was struck by that old cliche of how time just sneaks by you. The days are so long, but the years so fast. Three kids in school. How the hell did this happen to me?
Eliza was fine, great. Excited and ready. Full of anticipation. When i asked her about the best part she said;
"I'm excited to learn new things."
Really. It was a perfect day.
We spent the afternoon at the lake enjoying the last few hot, hot days before fall comes. Playing with friends. Balancing on logs. Building (and wrecking) sandcastles.
Dinner of tacos, everybody's favourite, and toasts of high points of the day, and the best parts of summer, and the most exciting thing about school starting.

Right. On.
whew. here’s to many more like that one.
Great picture. Hope your good days keep comin’.
Sometimes we still play “high/low”. Every person goes around the table and talks about the one high point in the day and also the lowest. It’s a great concept.
