First Day of School

On August 27th, Ella began her school year as a 3rd grader, proud to be in the upper grades at the elementary school and anxious about her first year of “real” grades (A’s, B’s, C’s instead of 1’s, 2’s, and 3’s).  And Jack became a “grader”, as Ella used to say, beginning his year as a 1st grader.  Both kids got fresh haircuts the week before school started—Jack to refine his new longer, surfer look and Ella wanted to go for a bob again.  These two are so stinkin’ cute.  I just love this age.  I guess I always say that, but maybe because it all just keeps getting better.  We’re so proud of how excited Ella and Jack are both about going to school and learning—as great as our summer was, these two were thrilled for school to start.
