First Day of School 2024

This year was a big year for us with Carter moving up to middle school. He was super excited and also a bit nervous and anxious. That morning he was very chatty and talking through everything. Elise was very nervous about being in a new grade and not having Carter at school with her. She was so nervous she wasn't able to eat her special breakfast which she had been so excited about. She was really disappointed about it so she had a waffle with Nutella and strawberries as an after school snack. Her bus was on-time on the way home and Carter's was 5 minutes early! I am so thankful for amazing bus drivers who get the kids to and from school safely and in a timely manner, it's not an easy job!
