This is where we will start...

I must say, this year is a transition year for Casey and I as parents. It is mighty strange to go from having 3 kids, to having 2 kids and an 18 year old in college.

It is really difficult to stop trying to tell Bryce what to do, and realize all we can do is guide him, but we need to let him make his own mistakes...and he has definately made a few that he is hopefully learning from. He did start college last week at Santa Ana College. He is enrolled in the criminal justice program. So far, he is loving it. I just hope he KEEPS loving it.

As for Zach, he is driving on his permit...he is pretty good at driving, actually. He starts his junior year on Wednesday. He has spent the entire summer at the Tustin High pool. He had summer season polo, and he taught swim lessons and did lifeguarding at rec swim. He then had 2 weeks off, and is now back at the pool. Tomorrow will be his last day of 2-1/2 weeks of HellWeek(s) to prepare for the fall water polo season.

And our little Caitlyn, starts middle school on Wednesday...that I cannot believe. I know she will do well, but where did the time go? She has grown up so fast. She spent her summer playing everywhere with everyone. I swear she knows most of the town of Tustin. This will be the first year since preschool that she will not be in the same school as her cousin Josh. She is not looking forward to that. I will miss seeing him around campus, as well.

I will try to be a good blogger and post pictures of their first day of school...You can't do that with college kids. But hopefully, I can get my other 2 for you all.

As for my extended family (parents, siblings, grammy, aunts, uncles, cousins, niece, nephews, etc.) not much changed for any of them this summer. With the exception of my baby brother Michael and wife, Shanna, who had our new baby Cayden on July 25th. He is just a doll, and looks just like little Marky did at his age. So far, he is just as good a baby as Marky was too.

OK, all, cross your fingers that I become a faithful blogger!!!
