1st Day of School


Summer ended fast when we started school on August 11 this year. It seemed so early and I don't think any of us were ready yet! Braden was excited for his 5th grade year, his last year of elementary school and Avery and Carson are big 2nd graders! The excitement was huge for a few days and then they quickly settled into the normal "do we have to go to school today" routine! They all picked out their "1st day" outfits and Braden was especially opinionated this year about his "fashion." We had to have a more "mature" backpack, some new skinny jeans, and a flat-brimmed hat. Hmmmm.

And Davis was super excited for the start of his new Pre-k school at Ms. Michelle's. He was ready to go and once again, loves his orange backpack! (I am still trying to find out what happened to the picture I took on his first day!)

OK, so I am confused. Do you guys live in Australia or in California? I've been trying to figure it out.
I know that I am probably a stranger to you, but I really do (kind of) know your family.
I was in Paris with Garret on mission and I was also comps with your roommate, Jamie.
I don't mean to be a stalker, I'm just keeping up through cyber space.

I think I remember you! I remember meeting you with Jaime! Anyway, I know it is all confusing! We currently live in California and will be moving to Australia at the end of October. Garrett is already over there and will be coming back to "get" us in about 1 month. I started my kids in school here because when we move they will be heading into summer then will start the school year in February. They get to start this school year twice! Great to hear from you!
