First Day of School

California schools started last week. Jocelyn is starting first grade, and because of the different b-day cut off Ellie is starting Kindergarten! Both girls are are gone full day. It is quite the change for me and the boys. Our school is just down the street so we get to walk the girls to school every morning. We did do a few drive buys at lunch to see if we could see them. It was a little sad for their mother to lose both of them all day! Hope they are learning and having fun. Here are a few pictures of the first day. Ellie and Caden ready to go to school. Caden wanted to bring his backpack too. So he could be like his big sisters. He was sad when he did not get to stay at school. But he got to play with Mom and James and go to YMCA school. (AKA kids care)

Ellie pretty excited after her First Day of Kindergarten.

She got a superstar award on the First day!

Yes she does have a different outfit on. She said she changed at lunch (into her spare outfit they like them to keep in their backpack for an emergency) because she was too hot? She did the same thing the next few days- so i stopped putting the extra outfit inside. Hopefully she doesn't ever really need it! Funny girl.
Jocelyn so excited for her first day of First Grade (she LOVED her Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Tiedeman, so hopefully she will have a good one here too)

These guys are such great friends - it is so nice!
Yeah - they both seemed to enjoy their teachers, school and made a few new friends.
(Ellie has had a little separation issues in the mornings but hopefully that improves with time.)

Here is Ellie the next day playing on the playground

We survived the first week. My parents were in town visiting so it was nice to have extra hands to help or stay home with the sleeping babies. We will see how week two goes on our own.
