...and another summer DOWN...
...which means, once again, it's time for the always-exciting BACK TO SCHOOL season!!! After picking out school supplies at Walmart...
...and labeling them very carefully...

...we stuffed the backpacks full and skipped off to Blessing of the Backpacks + Back to School Night! NEEDLESS TO SAY, we love this school so are so so so excited for our big second grader...


...and our preschooler [who is back for her second year in the Pre-K building and ready to rule the roost!]!
In no time at all, Harper's first day of 2nd grade rolled around...
...[^^ proudly sporting the bow she sewed herself!]...
...complete with lunch with friends after the early dismissal to celebrate the beginning of an awesome year!

A few days later came Scarlett's first day of Pre-K 4...



...followed by Juliette's first day of freedom!!! ;) :)
I joke, I joke! TBH, in alllll the time she had mommy all to herself, she spent half of
this first day of "freedom" crawling into the girls' bedroom, sitting on their rug, and
looking back and forth and all around for just a glimpse of her beloved big sissies! She misses them so much and has been waving her arms furiously
and squealing in delight the minute they get in the car after school
every afternoon!
As we all continue to celebrate fresh starts and settle into the "new normal," I truly am looking so forward to having the big girls back in the classroom environment where they're stimulated and challenged each day, and I'm also so excited for the shiny new time alone with Juliette on Wednesdays and Fridays! Win, win, winningggg for all! And now...
LET'S LEARN!!!
Cheers to the 2022-2023 school year! May it be fruitful and full of blessings for all! :)
