Welcome to my party of six, or more specifically my family of six. Out to dinner tonight for my 41st birthday with my family, the hostess asked, "how many?" I had to think for a moment, my newest addition to our family was only 20 days old, and this was our first venture out with our "new" family. "Six, party of six", I replied. The gravity of our new family size hit me, and thus my new blog for our new family had a name. Welcome to our new adventures as we start our new family life!

Back to School

The kids started school on September 13, a Wednesday this year.  Why a Wednesday?  Can the teachers only handle three days with the kids to ease back into the school year?  Personally, as a mom I was ready for a 5 day week the first week, to ease back into MY schedule.   The mommies went to lunch at Macayos, which is becoming a tradition for the first day back to school.  We do this to mourn, or celebrate, or a little of both, the beginning of another school year. 

Markie started 2nd grade with Mrs. Moser and Lizzie started 5th grade with Mrs. , of course I forgot the name of her teacher.  Anyways, they were excited to go back with their new lunchboxes and backpacks.  Off on the bus they went, happy to start their school year.  Even Tater saw them off!  And so we ended a summer of lots of changes for our family!  Even though it was only August 13, and still felt like the surface of the sun outside, summer was officially over for the Phipps Family!  I hope Marike and Lizzie have the best school years so far!
