First Day of School!

I can't believe another school year has begun!  It's been a fun filled but brief summer. We recently bought the girls their new uniforms; since the school changed names and colors, new uniforms were needed. We went supply shopping and ordered backpacks. The excitement was building!  Finally the big day arrived and the girls were ready. 

We greeted them with this message on their new whiteboard. 

When everyone was ready, we headed outside for our annual pictures. Interestingly both girls said the same thing as last year for their desired professions. Mia did throw in that if she's not an inventor, she will consider being "a builder like Mr Rob, a miner or a Cirque du Soleil performer."  Glad to know she has options!  Mrs Barbulescu is going to have a fun year with this one!

Lily is very excited to see her friends and be in Mrs Grote's class!  Mrs Grote is known for the awesome voices she does while reading which Lily will love. She's also known to charge by the chocolate piece when unnecessary assistance is asked for in the classroom. We gave her a bag of Dove that morning to apply towards our account!

I love these two!

Ryan and I both took them to school so we could walk them in. They had set up this sweet little picture spot where Elizabeth was taking pictures. 

They had a great first day, and their year is already progressing nicely. Mia passed her math test and has moved on up to second grade math which she was very excited about. They are already learning so much!  I can't wait to see how they continue to grow throughout the year!
