School started September 4, but I am just now getting to look at the obligatory first day of school pictures.  Charlie and Grace seem to like their teachers and I have to say it was a smooth and uneventful transition from summer vacation to back to school.  Eli struggled going back at first, but I give him credit for at least accepting that he had to go and doing what he was asked (keeping his shoes on, going in without a big fit, etc - I really wasn't sure how he would do).  The reports so far from his teachers have been very positive. 

So here we are.  2nd and 3rd grade!  Next year, all three kids will get on that school bus.  Hard to imagine.

I know I have said it before, but I love how Gracie and Charlotte crack each other up.  They really are very good friends.
