First Day of School

And thus ends another summer vacation . . .

Victoria and Austin are both very excited to be starting a new school year. Victoria is now in grade two and Austin is in kindergarten, which is three full days a week. We actually had to wake Austin up this morning to get him to the bus on time. He picked today of all days to sleep in.

We all walked out to the bus stop together. Samara, however, was NOT impressed when her big brother and sister got on the bus without her. The bottom lip came out and huge tears started rolling down her cheeks. How dare they leave her behind?

Victoria and Austin both had a really good first day of school and they love their new teachers. Austin was exhausted when he got home! It will take him a little while to get used to the full day thing as JK was only two mornings a week last year. But I'm sure it won't take long and he'll be right into the swing of things.

Samara and I also had a good day . It's neat having time just with her. Every child is different when you're just one on one with them so I think it'll be fun.

Here's to another year of school beginning.






This is before Victoria
and Austin got on the bus:

Such cute pics of your littles getting ready for school and then walking to the bus. Glad they like their teachers and are already enjoying their new school year.

Poor little Samara. Happy to hear she and mommy made up for it with a day of fun. Next year she'll have her little brother home to keep her company! Yippeee!!!
