Too Cool for School

Evie started First Grade last week, ready to conquer the world!  

Ellie was there to lend moral support...

...and gave big sis a big hug as we send her off to school (it was a sweltering day after a mild summer, so she and Ba decided to walk us only halfway).  

Jack (starting kindergarten), Ella (who will be in Evie's class this year), and Evie take our traditional picture in front of Belle View's big sign!  Here's to a great year ahead!

Meanwhile, Ellie was excited to start her second year at MHCP, where she will be in Mrs. Arthur's and Ms. Anahi's classroom. 

Mom and Ellie on her big day - no jitters for this girl!

Dad also was there to give our little munchkin a proper send-off, literally with some munchkins we provided for the Courtyard Coffee.

Ellie and London reunite on the MHCP playground.

Ellie proudly shows off her "Comfy Bear" picture, full of princess stickers and family pictures so she can visit the family should she ever get lonely at school.  She also kindly had placed some peanut stickers by "Comfy Bear's" mouth to keep him well fed.

Another year, another mommy holding back tears!
