School Days & Days of Catching You Up...

It's that time of year, and for the first time ever, I sent both girls to school.  I thought I would be excited for some "me" time, but I was really kind of sad today.  Not only do they insist on growing up, they do it so fast!
Hadyn is just a little excited to go to school...we had to go outside to wait for the bus 20 minutes early...
Regan playin' it cool.  3rd graders don't get excited...or nervous...

Since my last post, we Luke's have been a busy bunch, making sure we fully filled up our final days of summer.
Sniffle, sniffle...we said Goodbye for a while to my neice, Rachel.  She's off to make something of herself at BYU.  She's my oldest niece, and having her leave for college makes me feel old.  If you ask my girls, they will tell you she walks on water, and does so very fashionably :).  We will all miss her and hope she makes it back to Boise a lot.
Regan with her BFF/cousin.  Jenna is about a month older than Regan, and was baptised this summer.  She looked gorgeous, of course, and Regan was so excited to share the day with her.

We also got to do a lot of camping and hiking.  We used this summer to get the girls a little used to backpacking, which we hope to do a lot of next summer.  We weren't sure if they would like it, or just complain, but they did great on some decent-length day hikes.  To be honest, they both thought it was funny to take off running up the trail, laughing at their old, slow parents.  We'll get our revenge next summer when we make them carry the food and tent...

oh my word! your description of rachel cracked me up! and that hadyn is adorable! she's following in rachel's footsteps and wearing the perfect back-to-school outfit. i love that regan's all laid back about it. that's pretty much how it is here. not the cute outfits, but jared's bouncing off the walls excited and calvin's nonchalant. :)
