Back to School

Back to school time has come again.  As much as we all love summer, it must come to and end and there is something calming about the routine of the school year.  The girls say they don't want to go back to school but they come home each day talking none stop about what they did in school and after school club.  Often they don't even want to leave when Matt and I get there.  That's a win in my book!!

We met their teachers and explored their new "homes" the Monday before school began.

Ella: First Grade

Ava: Second Grade

Then school started on Wednesday, August 14th.  The girls also started a new routine that day of riding a van after school to their after school kids club that is just down the street from our home.  So far all is good and they are having a great year.

The friend party was followed by an afternoon at the pool with family and friends and then a family party for dinner.  Everything I ever hope for my girls' birthdays; surrounded by lots of people who love them.

Then comes her actual birthday :).  She spent the day at the zoo with friends while mom and dad worked and then back to the pool for some more fun in the sun.
