I remember school always starting the day after Labor Day as a child, but ever since I've been a teacher, it seems like school keeps creeping more and more into the summer. We had been in school three weeks this year by the time Labor Day came along. I was excited for the break!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02782876823581408975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-88707388350740443342010-09-13T11:05:30.388-07:002010-09-13T11:05:30.388-07:00Hi Willow, England has turned damp and cool herald...Hi Willow, England has turned damp and cool heralding Autumn for us.

It is hard to say goodbye to your child. Thankfully, we can put our loved ones in the care and protection of our Heavenly Father - and trust Him to keep and protect them. Personally, I have to keep on doing that - but it is the only thing that keeps me 'sane'.<br /><br />I think air conditioning in Phoenix would be anyone's favorite!Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633714411687511297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-38280158452652074662010-09-10T16:48:05.177-07:002010-09-10T16:48:05.177-07:00The road trip sounds like fun!!
