Let the Games Begin!

Last week was a big week for our family.  Emma started kindergarten and Andy started his last fall semester of grad. school!  It is such a wonderful feeling to know that Andy will graduate in May and our lives can get back to "normal."

 

She insisted on getting a picture of her backpack.

This was Abby's first day back at daycare (August 17th).

Since Emma now goes to McPolin, she gets to eat breakfast at our school (free for all students).  When it's time to line up, one of us takes her to her line, picks up our own students, and the learning begins!    

one of her best of friends--Hudson

Love it!  I know many more writing samples will be coming home, but I will treasure her first writing sample from kindergarten. :)  

We got in one more swim down at Papa and Grandma's house.  She also has swim lessons every Thursday.

Soccer is in full swing!  Games are on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Katharine and Emma...two peas in a pod!  Even though they don't go to the same kindergarten, our families have planned to get together for monthly dinners.  

We had a BBQ with Barbara's and Katharine's families the weekend before these girlies started kindergarten.
