First Day of School

The kids were ready and excited to go back to school after our way-too-short-and-fast summer. I am never ready for them to go back even though it's nice to have our routine back. I really wish they would go back after Labor Day. It is still super hot here and there would be plenty of time left to go to the pool and hang out---such a bummer they go back to so early! Ellie started 3rd grade with Mrs Urbanek and Jack went back to Pre-K with much of the same class from last year but with a new teacher Ms Julie. We are really happy with both teachers and looking forward to a great year! I can't believe next year Jack will be starting kdgt. Let the waterworks begin :( Here are 1st day of school pics:
