Back to School!

I could go off on a tirade about how school should not start until after Labor Day, but, truthfully, we all had a nice, looong summer, and we are ready to start a new year.

Clara is old hat at this school thing by now. 3rd Grade. She wouldn't let me buy her new clothes for the first day –"Seriously, Mummy, the clothes I have are just fine!"– but we had to get her feet in something more substantial than flip-flops, so check out the new Chuckie T.s:

For Trevi, this was his first day of Kindergarten. Big day. And a big, cheesy smile to mark the occasion:
I am so proud of these two. They are such amazing people. And, as always, it's my greatest hope that they will continue to love learning.

As for me, I met my new batch of Kindergartners today. They are bursting with enthusiasm and imagination. It's going to be a fabulous year.
