It isn't summer any more.

It's fall!

Duchess is in eighth grade, and she seems cool with it so far. She has a pretty brutal rowing schedule lined up, so it remains to be seen how that works in balance with homework and her demanding social media brand. I'm guessing a bunch of tantrums will be part of the process, but I'm holding out hopes.

Skipper is in fourth grade. She would like to drop out of school. I'm guessing a bunch of tantrums will be part of her school year as well.

We took first-day-of-school photos, and they were really adorable. However, there was no memory card in the camera, so they exist only in my memory.
