First Day of School

The first day of school comes around early here! David and Josh started on August 4, Emma on August 5th (kindergarten always starts one day later), and Rachel started a few weeks later. She is going to a Charter school and they have a slightly different schedule. The kids were all ready and excited to start school.

Josh was excited to start 2nd grade and have his same teacher that he had in 1st grade.


David is ready for 5th grade.


I had to embarrass them by taking their pictures at school.




I can't believe Emma is really 5 and starting kindergarten! She still seems like my baby.


Here's Emma and her second cousin who are both starting school this year.


Here is Emma and her new teacher, Mrs. Pharris. I don't know what that look on her face is - she really is excited and happy to be starting!


We decided to try out a charter school this year for the 7th grade. Rachel gets to wear uniforms this year, which we are both excited about. No more trying to figure out what to put on each morning! Some of the kids don't like it, but I'm glad that Rachel does.


The kids are all doing well and loving school.
