and . . . we're back.

It's here! The day that sends huge amounts of anxiety (both good and bad) through the minds of millions of students and teachers alike. We get up a little earlier, we make extra sure we are prepared, we strut out the door in our favorite new school outfit as we approach a new school year with our best "game face" on.

Both my school girls were up at a good time this morning and eager to start school. As many of you know, Jocie is starting 7th grade and Ella is starting 1st grade. They are both at the "second levels" of their respected buildings, and excited to not be the "babies" of their schools anymore.

Enough with the blabber and onto the photos!

I figured out how to get Claire look at the camera . . . take pictures of her sisters and not ask her to be in them . . .

They may share the fact that they are both at the "2nd level" of their buildings, however, their school suplies are somewhat different from eachother . . . and Jocie is really excited about it.







It's gonna be a great year!
