First Day!

Well the summer is over for the little ones and we have been very busy this week with the start of the new school year. Sammy is very excited about his new teacher, Mrs. England, she seems very interested in academics which is a lovely change from last year. Seraphina has begun her home schooling full time and so far she hasn't given me a problem with the work or the schedule. She started in the afternoon last year but this year she is up with Sammy in the morning and busy working from the minute he leaves until right before he comes home. She also has homework when Sammy does. Today we learned all about food chains and she was very excited to tell Daddy all about it when he got home. She also started back at ballet this week and is now in the older class (note the tiara that's really the biggest difference but to her it's a BIG difference). Sammy has been in school since Tuesday and has already written two essays and had a test today. Wow 3rd grade sure doesn't look like it's going to be a breeze through year. They are getting so big and I am not ready at all for them to both be in school so I am cherishing the last year I have a baby at home.

Sad to leave but ready for the day, obviously Pheenie was fine as long as he was in the house. If you blow this picture up you can see the sad puppy in the back, Bella is having the hardest time with Sam being gone.

How Grown up they both are. I love fall, but it seems as though the time passes to quickly.
