First Day of School

After a fun and enjoyable summer, the kids were ready to get back to school. They were also glad they got to wait until the end of August to start, instead of the beginning like their old school.

Rachel had to get up bright and early to catch a 6:56 am bus. She started 8th grade at Lewis Palmer Middle School.


David, Josh, and Emma were also excited to begin their new school year at Lewis Palmer Elementary.


Emma is a big first grader now, ready to go to school all day long.


Josh is ready for 3rd grade.


Last year, they decided to move 6th grade into elementary instead of middle school. I was glad that we got one more year before moving to middle school. David doesn't seem to have a preference but he's just excited that he can learn the trumpet.




David insisted on riding the bus to school, but I drove the other kids and got a quick picture of Emma and Josh by the school sign.


Emma's waiting for her teacher to come out and get the class.


We tried a cute, fun hairstyle for the first day.


Here's Josh with his teacher, Mrs. Hilton. He was lucky to have her last year as well!


Emma also had the same teacher as last year, Mrs. Besler. She was excited to get her name tag and wait to line up.


Here is Emma with some of her cute friends, Morgan & Dryden.


Of course I had to embarrass David by taking a picture of him as he got off the bus.


Time to go in!


And here is the very important second day of school.
