Back To School!

Last week marked the beginning of another school year, and our girls were so excited! Ava is again doing preschool with kids and parents in our neighborhood. She absolutely loves it; she asks everyday if she has preschool.


What a cutie! When I gave her the backpack to put on, she kissed it she was so happy!

Michaela this year is in middle school. How did that happen? I'm just not that old yet! She didn't want me to walk in with her, and would only let me take a picture if I stood next to the car so no one would see me taking the picture. Michaela is such a good girl, and she is really looking forward to middle school.



Payden is in fourth grade this year, and she let me come in to take pictures! She has the same teacher Michaela had for fourth grade; we really like her.




This picture is a tradition; the circle of bricks outside their elementary school. This year there was only one of them, however! Payden is my only kid here for now.




They both wore their "first day of school" clothes, outfits they really felt good in and were excited about.


I love back to school time, the routines and normalcy of it all. I also like to have more time to devote to my younger kids. And darn it all if my house is easier to clean and stays that way longer! I also like to go to breakfast with friends, and lunches with Jason. But I do miss my kiddos, and can't wait for them to come home and tell me all about their days.




Here's to another great year of learning!

Hooray (and sniff sniff) for back to school. Michaela looks so grown up and I love Payden's outfit! Cute girls!
