Just another afternoon at the beach.  I love it when my kids can all get along and play together and I can just sit and relax.  This was one of those days.

This morning Trent and I took our eldest son to the middle school to get all registered and set up for the new school year.  It is hard for me to believe since it seems like he just started Kindergarten last year.
