First Day of School! 2010-2011

It's finally here! The girls are so excited to be headed back to school. Thankfully they enjoyed most of their summer together. It's only been the past couple of weeks that I have been hearing the phrase, "I'm bored." They got along great all summer too. I think it's good for everyone that school has started up again though.


Bria will be in Ms. Blair's 4th grade class. She doesn't really know anything about her teacher, but was delighted at the open house last night when she walked into the classroom and saw an entire wall full of books! We decided right there and then her teacher must be ok if she has that many books in her classroom. :)


Emmy is in Mrs. Gregory's 1st grade class. We are SO happy to have Mrs. Gregory as her teacher! Bria was in her 1st grade class as well and we all loved her! Emmy was beyond excited to have Caitlin, Claire and Alexander in her class this year as well.
It's such a good thing to have the kids excited to head back today. And I'm enjoying the relative peace and quiet of a house full of only 3 little kids as opposed to 3 little kids and 5 big kids - it's amazingly quiet around here so far today!
The only major thing left to do for today is to bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies this afternoon - that's the tradition for the first day of school at our house. The girls love walking in to a house smelling of cookies!

Emmy, ready for 1st grade Me and the girls Jon and the girls Emmy and her friend, Claire Walking to school-wow is it nice to live close!
