2 down, 1 to go....

"The bus is here, the bus is here!"


Claire and Ella headed off to school for the 09-10 school year.
I absolutely cannot believe that I have 2 kids in grade school.
And more than that, I can't believe my baby Ella is out on her own, in school, as we speak.
Where does the time go?


Claire was excited to start 2nd grade.
She enjoys school so much and I think she'll have a great year.
She know a lot of kids in her class this year, unlike years past, so that's fun.
Claire has a great teacher, Mrs. Julseth.
I'm excited to watch Claire grow this year!






Ella started Kindergarten this year. She is definitely ready! I was not so ready, but it's not about me! Ella was so excited to go to school she was up and dressed before I even made it to the shower. She couldn't ride the bus with the big kids the first 2 days because Kindergarteners do transition days, but she got to go all day today.

Ella is going to do great! I can't wait to post all the cute things she says and does and all the amazing discoveries she's going to make along the way.


As for Avery, she has a few more years. But in the meantime, she gets to play, tumble, sing, swim and nap. Not a bad gig!


As for mom, I'm just putting one foot in front of the other. I'm excited about the school year starting, fall coming and life continuing to change.


I thank God today for opening my eyes to the things that matter the most to me. I plan to spend this school year watching for and finding all the great things happening around me. I am truly blessed.


I hope you and your kids all have a great year and I promise to get back to posting the ups, downs and all-around fun times happening at the Rouse House!
