September Phone Dump

With school starting, September flew by so my phone captured the moments of the month.  We made a Labor Day weekend trip to my parents condo and spent the month getting acclimated to school and routine.

Sometimes these two love each other.  ;-)

1st Day of School 2014/2015

Kate is in Pre-K again this year, and she has done SO well.  This was her first day, but now a few months in and we see her flourishing and learning and LOVING school.  The first day she said, "it was amazing" when I picked her up and has become quite the leader in her class leading other students at her table in work and helping them out.

Jack is a big first grader this year and they hit the ground running with learning.  They ease you in with Kindergarten, but we were doing a lot the first week.  It was challenging to adjust and homeschool two at once, but we are in a great routine.  Jack is already learning tons of grammar, reading like a champ and asking to be given math problems to see how fast he can go - always loving a competition.  

As usual, we have the amazing morning assembly with reciting the school creed, praying and praise and worship time.  It is such a great way to start the day!  Can't wait for a great rest of the year!!!

Jack and Kate's Birthdays!

Our not so little anymore kids, turned 7 and 5 in August and had a joint birthday to celebrate.  It was such an easy, fun birthday and we still tried to make it unique for each of them.  Jack wanted a Lego birthday and Kate wanted a Beanie Boo birthday.  All the guests were able to "adopt" a Beanie Boo and take it home and build any lego item they would like.  Again, it was very easy and fun and indoors with A/C!!!

Happy Birthday to the best kids I know!!!  We love you!
