The School year has begun!

Well sadly, the summer is over and the school year 2015-2016 has begun. Ella and Cavin were so excited and it is such a blessing that they love school and I don't have to drag them out of bed in the mornings. They were up and ready nice and early and ready to begin the day. Ella said to me while I was doing her hair "Mom I had a fun summer, but I like school more than having fun." Not sure if I should take that as a reflection of not a very fun summer or that she just loves school that much. I think I focus on the latter. She simply loves to learn and I am so grateful. 

Ella is in third grade and has Mrs. Havnen.

Cavin is in 2nd grade and has Mrs. Pena.

These two could be twins! They sure are a great siblings to each other!

Of course the other kids wanted to take a picture with them! The younger two are definitely going to miss their brother and sister!

Here is Cavin with his new teacher Mrs. Pena. We went to drop off Ella next, she is in a portable this year, so we went over and she went right in a got a couple hugs from friends and waved goodbye, so no teacher picture for now! 

Channing wanted me to take her to lunch on her first day without the kids, and I happily obliged.

And sweet little Deacon kept giving me cheesy smiles before his nap! I miss the older two and hope they have an awesome year, but I am glad I still have 2 cuties home to keep me company!
