First Day of School

These four kids all started school this year with all new teachers (this only happens every other year in our multi-grade school).

What cute kids!

My three crazy girls all get to ride the bus together now!

Excited for school! 

Walking towards big change.

OK mom, enough pictures!!


Teyah started all-day kindergarten! Deciding whether to start her and where to start her has probably been my most difficult parenting decision yet. I know that sounds silly, but it was just so hard! I think I asked advice from every person I came into contact with in the past six months!

 I think we've made a good decision, because she's doing fabulous and loving every minute of school!

Her awesome teacher is Mrs. Franzen, who has taught Ellie the past two years and Aubrie one year before that! We know Mrs. Franzen well and love her to pieces.

This gorgeous girl started 2nd grade on a new team (grades 2-3).


Ellie loves her first-time teacher Miss Tobias so far because she is lots of fun.


Love this girl!

Kyler started his first year of Joy School! Because he has a November birthday, he's ready for preschool but is technically not old enough. So, going to Joy School one day a week has been a perfect fit for both of us. This picture is not very Kyler-like because he's usually always smiling!

How is this girl already a fourth grader?

Time just goes way too fast! Fourth grade has been a bit of a transition for her, but we all love, love, love her teacher Mrs. Bovee.

Apparently, in fourth grade, it's already not appropriate to take a picture with your teacher!

Welcome home sisters!! We've missed you! It sure is quiet around our house with only one kid at home during the day! It's been a long time since that happened.
