First Day of School 2015

I thought life would be calmer once school started. 

So far, that hasn't been the case.

This past week I had a root canal, our air conditioning broke, and Lucy had strep. 

It's been quite the long and expensive week. But as of today, we are all good, for which I am so thankful!!

The first day of school was both exciting and scary. For all of us. It's a new school with new teachers, and I was nervous for them.

Sami is in 2nd grade. 

 Janie is in 1st grade. 

 Not sure where this pose came from, but we'll take it. 

 Glad my girls like the camera.

 Trying to get a sibling shot.

 Walking to the school. Nerves were high. Lucy thought she was going to. 

 Their mascot is now the eagle. They are the Oak Hollow Eagles. So we took a picture with the creepy eagle man.

 I felt like I was kind of embarrassing Sami by hanging around. How did it come to this so quickly??! But she was a good about smiling for me. 

 At first Janie was very uncomfortable and nervous with the whole "new school" thing. 

 But once she found out our neighbor and a friend from her primary class were all in her school class, she was totally okay. 

 Lucy was sad it wasn't her first day too. Poor thing. It's hard to always be left out of the good stuff. 

 This was the smile I got from Sami as it was time to go in and I knew she would be okay. 

I sure do miss these girls all day, but I am so thankful that they love school.
