End of August

It's hard to believe August is already over.  We are settling back into the routine of school, and both girls are adjusting well.  The second week of school, the first graders all took math tests and based on her score, Lily actually moved up to second grade math.  1st grade and up all have math at the same time each day, and you see the kids move to the different classrooms.  She is doing well in that class and actually loves that she has homework each night for this!  Here are just a few miscellaneous pictures from the last few weeks.
 
Lily gave a presentation on her Lego creation.  This is her "dream room" which includes a horse stable, restaurant, pool and hot tub.
 I LOVE when the girls make me cards.  This is a recent one from Mia.
 Mia came home with this coloring one day, and I thought it was cute, especially the little driver inside the bus.
 Lily's drawing of the days of creation.
 Lily's ocean scene.
 Extracurricular activities have started back up.  Mia is very excited to return to The Little Gym each week for a combo ballet/tap/gymnastics class.  Ms. Morgan is a great teacher, and she has a blast each week.  Lily could not wait to start her piano lessons.  She has only had two lessons, but she is loving it.  She has always had an ear for music, so she was thrilled when we told she would start weekly lessons.  We bought a keyboard for home practice, and she is doing great.
September, here we come!
