First Day of School, for EVERYONE!!!

This is a big year. A really big year!
They're all in school!!
Not only, are they all in school, but in two different schools
and all Waukee public schools.

Claire starts middle school as a 6th grader.
How is that possible?!? 
My baby, a middle school girl!
I really have no worries.  She is such a great kid and she
is so ready for this.  She's going to do awesome in MS!


Her own locker!


Avery starts Kindergarten.
Honestly, my heart is so heavy!
I love having her home with me so much.  
We are so close, and really enjoy our time together.
But, I know this is good for her.
I know that she needs independence from me, even if neither of us want it!

Aves is going to do great in K.
I think she'll bring a lot of excitement and character
to her classroom and hopefully her teacher has a great sense of humor!

What a Kindergartener!!

Ella is starting 4th grade at Shuler.
She has grown so much these last few years at Sayre, 
but not it's time to join the masses.  
I'm worried of course, but I'm also excited.  I think she's
 going to love all the opportunities and friends she'll
find along the way.

Iowa State Fair

The heat. The food. The rides. The smells. The animals.

Nothing beats the Iowa State Fair.
Or at least, a short visit to the fair! :)
