First Day of School

Allan - 8th Grade, Nathan - 7th Grade, Joshua- 4th Grade, Emily - 2nd Grade, and Rachel in Preschool

Joshua will have two teachers this year - Durie and Nortman.

Joshua wasn't too happy to be posing for pictures at the school.  

Emily has Miss Horton. Joshua had her two years ago and we LOVED her.  :)

Emily was thrilled that Charlotte sits on one side and Tess sits on the other. So fun to be sitting next to best friends. 

Rachel missed everyone so much. At 10:41 she said, "Can we go pick up our kids?" Ha Ha!
