Back to school. Party at the farm. Goodbye to school.

 First day of school 2015.  Luke starts 5th grade, Ava starts 3rd and Ruthy is just wishful thinking. ;)

As usual on the first day we walked down to get donuts for breakfast before school.

 

Dakota says "Have a fun school year kids"  Thanks Dakota, you're so cute.

We had a fun "good bye to summer break" party down at the farm.

That weekend we also celebrated Jeremy graduating with his Masters Degree! We loaded the car with all our camping gear and drove to Salt Lake for the graduation. Afterwards Em treated us all to lunch at The Blue Lemon. We changed in the car and headed straight for the mountains. Jeremy told me all he wanted to do after he graduated was lay in a hammock and do nothing but stare at the lake. And so that was what we were going to do.

 Leah says hang loose!

I am pretty darn proud of this guy. He never slacked in any of his other many responsibilities as he plugged away at school.  He's a great example to me of how slow and steady wins the race. He works so hard for us and gives his all and I love him for it.
