Summary: It’s that time of year again. Time for grumpy mornings, piles of homework, and everyday germ factories. Yep. School is back in session. And this year is pretty important for both of us.<br> Brent’s youngest daughter Kenna and Andrew’s daughter Alex are both going into kindergarten. Let’s all pause for a moment of silence please.
