Back to school

*Don't we all have this same "forced, in front of the house, 1st day of school" shot? :)

Summer vacation flew by (we had a blast!) and now back to school. Julia started 3rd grade and Bella started Kindergarten today. Sniff, sniff...

Julia was excited to start school again- she couldn't fall asleep last night, she was so excited! There are only a handful of girls in her class this year and none that she knew well so that made her a little nervous. She makes friends easily and I know she'll do fine.
Bella was the first one up and dressed this morning. Over the years, she has patiently watched as Julia goes off to the first day of school. Now, it's her turn! All morning, she revelled in all the necessary school tasks- getting her lunch packed, eating breakfast early, etc. It was so cute to watch.
Chet and I, on the other hand, were sad that Bella has grown up so fast. We dropped her off at the Kindergarten drop off and she ran off to play, without even looking back. She has been waiting for this day all summer! She will love school!

I will miss you girls and can't wait to hear all about your day!

Off to hold Camille a little tighter. :)

Glad the girls had a great time at school today. Bella, don't forget to memorize one extra name of your friends tomorrow. Julia, I am so glad that you like your new teacher and that you will be able to help some kindergarten student.

Happy 1st Day of School! What a wonderful day for the girls. Bella looks so happy that she is about to jump out of her skin. Glad that they had a good day. One to the rest of the year....
