GIANNA & NICK ARE COMING HOME!

So tomorrow morning Gianna & Nick will be boarding a flight (by themselves) and flying back home just in time to start school on WEDNESDAY! Can you believe it? My baby is starting Kindergarten. Gianna will be starting 2 nd grade and Aryanna will be in 7th! There is still so much to do! Tomorrow after the kids land, I have to go get haircuts, try on all of Gianna's new clothes to make sure that they fit, go to the middle school for the campus tour & Aryanna's schedule, go to the elementary school for Nick & Gianna's class list, and somehow spend some quality time with the kids that I have not seen since June! I have missed them so very much! They are coming home to a new house (they will love it), a new ward, and a new school. I am really excited to see them again. I can't even begin to explain how much I have missed them.
On Saturday, the 22nd, we will be having a Back to School Pool Party & BBQ with our friends the Hales. It will be a nice way for all of us to relax from the first week of school craziness. There is also a ward BBQ that night, so we might go to that also.
Then on Saturday, the 29th, Aryanna is getting baptized! We are so excited for her. My mom and brother & his girlfriend will be coming up for the weekend. While they are here, we will also celebrate Gianna & Nick's birthday since they were gone for it. It is really nice that we will be having some family attend the baptism. We tried to get Tim to come, but he said that he could not get the time off of work. It breaks my heart that he will not be there for his daughter. She is making such an important decision to be baptized.
Anyway, I need to try to create a schedule for my crazy week! (And to think that I was supposed to be at Education Week right now)
