Bridgete turned 6!

Our little Bridgey turned SIX yesterday.
She is such a sweet girl.
She loves her family.
She LOVES being a big sister.
She is so much fun to watch when she plays quietly by herself.
She started kindergarten a week ago and already has made so many friends.
She also started soccer this year. She works it. She is a fast runner and gets to that ball quicker than anybody. It must be those long lean legs (Dave and I are still trying to figure out where those legs came from :)

Happy Birthday Bridgete. We love you!

Yes, I am here :)

I have had some camera issues....as in all the pictures from our fantastic trip to Angel's Camp, Calaveras Big Trees and Mercer Caverns have vanished. Somehow they all got deleted. I don't know how...sometimes there is a ghost who does things like this in our house. I have been very sad about it and so I went on a blogging strike. And now I am over it. I guess :)
Anyway, we are gearing up for school in the Schramm household. Monday is the big day. Bridgete will be in Kindergarten, Spencer will be in 2nd grade, Filippo will be in 7th grade (middle school!), Evan will be a Sophmore and Jenny a great big Senior! I have loved having them home this summer. It went way too fast this year. We have been busy getting everyone ready with back to school clothes, shoes, supplies, etc.
$$ouch$$.
We also have two in swim lessons (almost done with that!), four in soccer and one in football. Busy, busy! Luckily Sophie just goes with the flow. She is so sweet. I wonder if she will nap well when all the kids are back in school. It will be sooo quiet. She is definitely used to a lot of background noise :) I guess we will find out on Monday!
