And I am also glad that everyone was eager and up early and ready on the first day because then I could get our annual first day of school pictures in without making us too late!
Grace is in 5th grade this year. She is excited to add volleyball and band to her list of activities (along with continuing piano and GEMS).
Willem is in 3rd grade this year. He is so excited to get back to school to play with his friends. Playing catch all summer with Carsten was great, but it is so fun to have a troop of boys to split into teams and play soccer and football at every recess.
Carsten is in 1st grade. He is excited to go to school all day every day this year. I sure do miss him on Tuesday and Thursdays though!
Off to school!
(oh man, why do I take these same photos every year? It just kills me when I look back and see fast they are growing!!! 2010 - 2011 - 2012 - 2013 - 2014)
Willem and Mrs. Stille
Carsten and Mrs. Radtke
Grace and Mrs. TeWinkel
(extra fun for Grace - not only does Mrs. TeWinkel go to our church, but she is pregnant and due to have a boy at the beginning of October! Mrs. T will be gone Oct-Dec, but the long term sub is very familiar to the kids so that should be an easy transition.)
After getting the big kids settled in their classrooms, we went to the gym for opening chapel. It was extra fun to sit by Auntie Christy and cousin Greta, because...
...cousin Kaatje is attending Calvin this year and is in 8th grade!
We are excited to have her here, and I promised I wouldn't give her too many auntie hugs and kisses in front of her friends. =)
Last but definitely not least tradition on the first day of school - snacks with Mrs. Lynne to tell her all about their day. Everyone was excited and had great days to tell about.
I think it will be a good year for all.
