Back to School!! September 3, 2014

I have to pause in my "catching up" posts to add this current set of photos.  Both girls were incredibly excited to be off to school at the same place!  No more going to two separate schools with different schedules and vastly different environments.  Amaris will better understand what Jade was loving so much about her year at Springfield!  The girls both have only 8 students in their classes, and will go to school M-W from 8am until 12pm, Thursdays from 8am until 2:30pm, and no school on Fridays!!  They begin guitar lessons next Monday, and will continue with swimming lessons and Girl Scouts.  It will be a great year!  Stay tuned for details...after I  finish catching you up on last year!

Usually, CJ will have to take the bus to school, because I'll have the neighbor's kids in our car, but this morning the neighbor wanted to drive separately so she could be there on the first day, so we treated CJ to a ride and a sausage sandwich.

He had a little trouble smiling with his mouth full....

...well, not too bad.  CJ's school, Covenant High

                                             School, is in the same building as Springfield.  
                                                        He's a senior this year!  Crazy!

Amaris and her headbands...she loves them, and I could not

 convince her that it might look a little better further back

and maybe with the bow to the side a bit....oh well!  She 

felt very happy and fashionable, so why interfere??!

Jade's colorful and word-rich classroom!  She's excited to be back with her pals, and one new student to get to know!

Happy Autumn Everyone!!
