So it was finally time to begin school for the 2012-2013 school year. To me, our summer seemed to last FOREVER, with unusual routines and trips, but it was a great summer! As great as it was though, I was more than ready to get back into a new school year, with routines and normal bedtimes! With Pinterest inspiration, I made signs for both Mallory and Marissa this year.
Mallory will begin her 3rd year in the Partial Spanish Immersion Program at Lino Lakes Elementary. We moved into this home because of this program and this school, and so far, things are going well for her. She has a new teacher, which has been an adjustment for everyone, but I think it will be a good fit. She is with this same group of kids through 6th grade, and had the same teacher the first two years of the program, so you can see why change is a big deal!
When time came, Mallory was very excited to begin the new Year! Unfortunately the first day brought warm temps. and lots of humidity, so the picture didn't turn out too well - still trying to learn all the settings on my new camera! So here she is...ready to hop on the bus for her first day of 3rd Grade!
We always have to have a family picture - minus me, of course!
Marissa insisted on taking a picture with the flowers...or what's left of the flowers! Being gone the majority of the summer didn't bode well for the gardens!
Thursday, September 6th was Marissa's first day of her NEW Preschool! She had been to daycare before I became her weekly caregiver, but never had she gone to a "school." Jason found out about the school, Los Ninos Preschool, through our "printer" we use for Thirst Missions. His wife is the teacher and has classes in their home. It's a great setup - small class size, and she loves it!
Here Marissa is on HER first day of school! It is a two day a week - 2 hours a day SPANISH Preschool....let's hope she makes some good friends and learns some spanish!
Such a crazy family...Mallory is always trying to act just like her Dad while Marissa is the quiet one, and Julia just looks at everyone like they're crazy!
So this is the beginning of our "schooling" for the year...Julia and I will begin our new "Mommy and Me" class at the Early Chilhood Center on Sept. 24th, where we will only know one other friend, but we're excited about the prospect of meeting other 1-2 year olds in our area!
This year is sure to be a busy one, but I'll keep you updated!
