Summer coming to a close....

We have been preparing for Lily's entrance into Kindergarten for years now but never thought it would be coming this soon.  Summer is coming to a close for her...as she starts school in two weeks.  We have gotten everything she needs down to her new "school clothes" :)  To say the least she is excited.  Mom and dad are excited too, for her anyway.  We will be crying our eyes out for sure that very first day...Jake even took that day off of work :)  I think another big adjustment for us will be the start of Izzy going to Darla's.  This is a big thing for us too.  She has been a mommy's girl up to this point spending pretty much every waking hour with me.  We KNOW it will be a GOOD thing for her, Darla is so awesome.  Lily has been going to her since she was about 2.  And Izzy really needs some "socialization" BUT it will be a hard day especially for me.

Lily will also be starting dance again this fall.  Since her awesome dance instructor, Shelby, will not be with Dance Expressions any longer, Lily will be switching studios and will now be going to Balleraena Dance Studio.  She will be taking Ballet and Hip Hop.  She is super stoked for this is as well.  Her lessons start the Wednesday after Labor Day.

The next two weeks for us will be busy but laid back as well.  Swimming lessons for both girls have come to a close along with zoo camps for Lily.  The girls and I will be taking it easy this week and maybe hitting up the park and zoo a couple times.  Jake gets a break this week from weddings and will be DJing at Woody's Friday night and the 18th Amendment Saturday night.  We will be thankful to have him home every night this week/weekend :)

Next week is our annual trip to Yankton, SD for Riverboat Days.  We will be leaving on Thursday and camping for 3 nights.  Grandma and Grandpa Schumacher will be there along with Aunt Amber and Uncle Ryan I am sure so it will hopefully be a cool and wonderful time.

We also need to hit up Wild Water West (Jake's not so favorite place but Lily LOVES) sometime before summer ends as well, maybe this weekend :)
