Back to School


Some how summer has snuck past us already! Madison is a freshman and Quinn a 7th grader. Here they are on the first day of school (8/22) with their friend/neighbor, Heather, also a freshman. They get on the bus at 7am. So far they are off to a good start. They both go to different schools this year (the high school and the junior high) but are finding their way around and we are all trying to find a new school year routine again. Amazing how difficult this can be!

Here is Jade on her first day of 1st grade. She doesn't leave until 8:25 so the big kids were long gone by then. She loves school, loves her teacher (Miss DePriest) and loves her friends. She pretty much just loves it all! :) Such a refreshing "school attitude" when you are 6 years old! She also enjoys their classroom pet, Frieda the Frog.

Jade told me that they had their emergency preparedness drills: tornado drill (stay inside), fire drill (run outside) and a school lock down. She asked her teacher what they should do if they were really having a tornado AND a fire at the same time??? "Well, that is a good question, Jade... I'm not really sure what we would do!" Haha! Jade is going to keep Miss DePriest on her toes! :) ...Just when the schools thought that they've thought of everything!
