First day of school

This morning we are officially back to a little normalcy and into a schedule. Summer is a great time but I sure like having a routine with everyone, it just seems to make the house run a little smoother. Emily, Ali and Baylie went back to school today. Lindsay and Kenna won't start until tomorrow. Here are my 3 girls all ready for their school day to begin. Holding up their fingers showing what grades they will be in this year. Emily is in 7th, which is also officially, Jr, high! Ali is starting 3rd grade and Baylie 1st grade.

Baylie and Mrs. Brinton. We love Mrs. Brinton, Ali had her last year for second grade and we heard she was moving down to teach first grade and I had to request her - she is a fabulous teacher and I know Baylie will thrive in her class!





Her room was fairly empty when we got there so I was able to snap a shot of her at her desk too!




Ali with Mr. Guymon. She really wanted him for her teacher and we knew he was a popular choice. I opted not to request for her as all the 3rd grade teachers are good. She was telling me that she wouldn't get him since so many people were requesting to have him. She was happily surprised at registration when she found out she was placed in his class!





After taking Baylie and Ali to school, I was off to take Emily to JR HIGH!! I still think she's too little to be heading to jr high, but she was really excited. It will be a whole new world for her. Full of new friends, classes, teachers and opportunity!
It was a great morning and all went smoothly as we got ready for the new school year. Chris was able to give each of the kids a father's blessing last night to help them be comforted and ready to tackle this new year! They are growing so fast, time needs to slow down!
