1st Day of School...

Yesterday the girls all started back to school. Hannah and Emma are still at Hillrise in 2nd and 5th grade and Rachel began middle school this year. I should have a separate posting tittled "welcome to the Jungle" for her! It was quite a bit different than elementary, that is for sure. She survived her 1st day and managed to go back today with a smile so we are really proud of her. Hannah was so excited to have made her outfit for her 1st day...she loves her teacher and is ready for a great final year of elementary school. Emma is in the 2nd year of a loop with her teacher and is pleased as punch to be back. It is so nice to not have to transition to a new teacher. She is most proud of the fact that she can now tell time! She made that her goal over the summer and we did it!! All in all, we are happy to be back to our familiar routines. I miss having the girls all day but I now have more time to devote to graduate school entrance exams!
