Back to School

The first day of school was 10 days after Felix was born. I was so grateful to have my mom in town to help the kids get up and going in the mornings so that I could sleep in with Felix! Aaron waited to take the rest of his paternity leave until after Mimi left. It was glorious having so much help around. 

The school busses come so early! Annie's comes at 6:27 and Elliot's is about 10 minutes later. Annie had Mimi and then Aaron walk her to the bus stop for the first few weeks, but now she happily walks by herself. 

First day of first grade for Annie! She's in Mrs. Vartola's class.

She was brimming with excitement and feeling super cute! She was excited to have some friends from last year in her class and was excited to meet new friends. Her current best friends in her class are named Nellie and Ellie. 

Elliot refused to hold the board and gave me his favorite completely vacant look when I started taking pictures. 

This one's cute at least! Elliot is in Mrs. Leachet's 4th grade class. 

One week later, Isaac started preschool with Miss Leah! He adores it. His favorite day of preschool so far was when they did a playdough restaurant. The kids took turns being the customers, waiters, and chefs. He also had a day when they learned all about the life cycle of frogs. He's been growing leaps and bounds over the past few months!

Isaac rides his strider bike almost a mile to get there every Tuesday and Thursday, usually with the Ashcrafts coming with us. 

Mimi took each of the kids on a date while she was visiting. Isaac's was lunch at Culver's.

Elliot opted for the cheesecake factory.

Annie's date was to Claire's at the Mall. Boy does Mimi know what these kids like!

Overall all of these cute kids are thriving at school!
