Back to school

This is the first time I/we have lived anywhere that school started before Labor Day, so, back to school time felt like it snuck up on me fast this year. But, I was still no less excited for the end of summer bickering to be over, and, the children were excited for the back to school shopping and beginning another year's adventure at school.

Jamie started 3rd grade this year. His teacher's name is Mrs. Lee. Kind of funny because he also had a Mrs. Lee when we were in Strasburg for Kindergarten. Corinne is in 1st grade this year. She has Mrs. Pellath. We have been told she is strict, but, fair and the kids love her. Not that that matters, Corinne is such an agreeable kid, she gets along with most anyone. And, while it was a close call for having him ready, Morgan and Mommy are very happy he is off to his first year of preschool. He would have felt left out otherwise, but, now he gets to have his school, and his bag, and his lunch box, and that is very important to him. So, Mommy is happy that he is happy, and happy for some new found freedom 2 mornings a week too.
