First Day of School

I can't believe summer is over and it's time to start a new school year already.  This year Katie joins her brothers at La Purisima.  We now have THREE kids going there - yikes!  Zachary is in 7th, Nicholas in 2nd and Katie in Pre-K.  It is going to be an exciting year - Zachary will be on Student Council and continue with band and sports, Nicholas is set to take his first communion this year, and there will be some changes in store for our baby girl as she adjusts to a more formal pre-school environment.

As has been the tradition, on the 1st day of school I like to take a photo of the kids in front of the house so we can see how they grow year after year








Here is Nicholas with his friend Jacob, and then with Miguel and Tommy




And with Sophia, Shannon and Maggie.  Nicholas is definitely popular with the girls!!



Nicholas and Fiona are neighbors for the 1st day of school


Zachary had a big role to play the first day of school, celebrating all the birthdays from the summer.  As the Commissioner of School Spirit it is his job to do all things fun - definitely in his element!  When they announced the student council, he got one of the loudest cheers from the student body.  It is going to be an exciting school year!


My little girls first official day of Pre-School.  I hope she is going to have a good time - it's hard to believe how quickly she has grown


But it looks like she is going to fit right in - playing on the swings with her friend Samantha
