School's in session!

School is officially in session for me, now that I have
all 3 girls in school!

I am really excited for this year.  I feel like everyone
is in a really good place. Not just physically, although I
love all the schools (yes, we're in 3 different schools this year!),
but emotionally too.
Everyone seems happy.  They seem to be in a good place
academically, being challenged but surrounded by good people.
I love the schools, the teachers, pretty much everything!
Let me bask in this joy while I have it!
It's gonna be a good year!

Claire started 5th grade at Shuler on August 15th ~
Claire, my beautiful 5th grader!

Ahh, sister love!

The neighborhood crew ~

5th graders rule the school!


Claire is in 5th grade this year! That's a big deal in this house.
Soon, she'll be off to middle school.
But, before that happens, I want to encourage her to have
a lot of fun in her last year of elementary!
She has had a group of friends since Kindergarten.
They call themselves, The Fab Four.
They are a great group of girls!
We invited them all over after school for a little
'first day of 5th grade fun'.
I let them bake cupcakes, all. by. themselves.
They did a great job and had a blast!
It really is the little things sometimes.
I enjoyed listening to the giggles and sitting in
awesome gratitude for this amazing girl!


Ella started 3rd grade at Sayre Montessori on August 23rd ~


I asked her if she was nervous. She said, "just this much".
Not too bad!

Ella is such a great kid and an awesome student.  Within a few
days, she was informally named the Class President and
is serving as a great leader to her class and to the whole school!

Avery started PreK at Westview Church on September 5th ~
This was a tough one for me! Avery is my baby and she is
already in PreK. Kindergarten is only 1 year away.
I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by.
I love Avery. I love everything about her. I hope her teachers do too!

That's my Avery!


Such a big girl!


She was so excited to find her own cubby!

Off for her first day! She ran right in with a quick hug
and kiss from me.  I smiled, told her I loved her,
then ran out as tears started flowing!  I can't believe my baby
is in PreKindergarten already!

Avery loved, loved, loved her first day of school!
Day 2: She was so excited about going to school,
so she wanted to blow dry her hair to look beautiful.
Funny thing, she hadn't even bathed! : )
