The girls start school next Wednesday and they are both so excited! Bria finds out on Monday who her teacher is and who is in her class. 3rd grade should be an adventure.
Emmy gets to try out something new they are doing this year. The first three days of school are going to be called "Kindergarten Camp". They are going to be pooling all the kindergarten kids together and having them get used to the school and the routine of school as well as evaluating which kids will be the best fit with which teachers. Friday afternoon they will find out who their teacher is going to be and then on Monday I'll walk to school with Emmy again so that we can meet her actual teacher and class and see which classroom she is in. Hopefully this experimental start to kindergarten will be a good idea and will result in good fits between students and teachers. It makes things a bit more complicated with getting settled right into the school routine and Bria will have Emmy and another afterschool kindergarten boy to be picking up at the end of the day so we'll have to figure out his temporary spot as well as his permanent spot. Hopefully it's a good idea! We'll see.....
Thankfully both of the girls are excited for school to start. I'm excited for them too, but I'll be honest - I'm going to miss having my girls around all day long. Bailey and I will have to adjust to life with our girls gone most of the day and I'm not looking forward to that part. It's not like I'll be bored with a quiet house though - I'll have 6 kiddos here to keep busy with all day!
Anyway.... we're going to enjoy our last week of summer vacation and work on getting to be a bit earlier and getting up just a bit earlier. Next week both girls start soccer and Bria starts piano lessons too. Awana starts up in September and I'm sure we'll find that we are keeping very busy!

Sounds like a wonderful adventure ahead. Even with the changes the years between diapers and the opposite sex are great!!
