Today was the big day the kids have looked forward to for weeks. But it didn't come soon enough. Last night Emilia and Katherine were awake, and made sure everyone knew it, until 2 a.m.
Katherine was excited and nervous for jr. high. Although she did miss her bus after school, the day was a success. She managed to get to every class on time, figure out lunch and stay awake the entire day. She looked darling, (see above photo) and is excited about her year as a seventh grader.
Emilia has been so excited she has made a grid with what outfit she will wear each day and what hair do. She too managed to stay awake, and got her homework done quickly after school. This year is especially exciting because she has many friends in her class.
Elliot actually slept through the drama last night and as such had a great day. He discovered that the new kid in the ward was also in his class. The only disappointment for him was that the "continuing" soccer game didn't get started. Other than that, we didn't get much feedback on what happened in his class. I guess I will just have to spy on him, one of the benefits of working at the school.
I look forward to several hours of sleep tonight. Hopefully the rest of the school year will be equally great.

Beautiful family. Little Elliot looks like an engineer! That's a great picture.
Back to school at our house has been a tad crazy... but all 4 kids are on the bus and the house is virtually empty by 7:35am. Awesome!
Your kids look darling. I can't believe the girls were awake until 2am! Our kids may not have lived to see the light of day!! Glad Katherine survived the first day of Jr. High!!
