Back to School

I'm a bit overdue on posting these as we are starting our third week of school. But, back-to-school pictures are just so important!


Aubrie is a first grader this year. It actually doesn't mean too much of a transition though because she attended all-day kindergarten starting in January.


The bigger transition for her is that she ended up with a new teacher, Mrs. Franzen. Because of her combined grade level school, she was supposed to have the same teacher this year but with budget cuts, things were changed around a bit. After a little bit of drama this summer due to this, things are going quite smoothly and Aubrie truly loves her teacher. It's fun to already see her growing up a little and having more confidence at school.


Elliana is in her second year of Joy School. Her schedule hasn't changed much this year either, except that her school is 30 minutes longer.


Here she is with all her cute Joy School friends on their first day!


As we dropped the girls off on their first day, Teyah said, "I want to go to class!" Even though she thinks she's ready for school, the two of us have been enjoying a little one-on-one time. And, even though I miss the girls immensely while they are away, it is quite nice only having to take one to the grocery store!
