Summer flew by as usual and the new school year was fast upon us...wow. I now have a Freshman, a Kindergartner, a Pre-Ker, and a feisty, sassy, cutie pie of a 2 year old at home with me :) Don't really know how Summer and Fall zoomed by, but here's a recap of the beginning of the school year!
Peyton started the 4's Pre-K class with Mrs. Darla & Mrs. Tonya this year, and boy - was she excited for the first day! She loves school...loves to play, loves snack time...just loves it! She had a rough first week as she was testing her boundaries with her new teachers, and spent some time in the infamous "sad chair" :( I'm happy to report, she has now found her groove and is excelling! Her best friend Grant is in the same class, and the two of them just have the best time together. I love getting to class early to pick her up and hear that infectious little laugh...just makes my heart smile to know she is so happy :)
Annie started EHS as a Freshman this year...new school and new friends. She had a rough time at first, but made the volleyball team and is really doing great. She actually made the JV team and really kicked it into high gear, and is now playing basketball. Her dad and I are really proud of her...such a fantastic kid!
Devin started Kindergarten at our parish school and is loving it! I had no doubt...at all :) Buying her lunch at school has probably been her favorite this so far...except for recess. Her teacher asked me if I would be willing to help out with recess...so, Bristol, Peyton, and I head out to recess after lunch each Tuesday. I love that Devin is SO excited and proud to show me and her little sisters off. I know this won't be the case for long, so I plan on taking full advantage :) Love how she runs to me at pick-up and hugs me like she hasn't seen me in days...love that kid!
This was each of them on the first day of school! They were all SO excited...except for Bristol. She had a bit of a hard time letting her sisters out of the car since they had been together every day over the summer. Don't worry, she's over it...and thoroughly enjoys her alone time with momma during the day :) Bristol is such her own person....she is the perfect combination of all of us. Super-smart, witty, adorable, and really funny...we have so much fun with her!
