First Week of School

Well, we did it!! I have to just praise the Lord for a wonderful week.

(this last picture was just before bath time - typical Roo - she came in completely naked except for her socks. Gavin ran to get the camera because it was just too perfect - that's me censoring the pic, with Elle's bald head making a cameo:))

Raegan started school on Tuesday. She did great. Raegan made lots of new friends. One of her best friends, already, is Megan who also takes dance at her ballet class.

Dance is a wonderful blessing. I'm going to get pictures of her uniform - so adorable. They all look the same - all the students wear a maroon, long sleeved leotard, light pink tights, and a pink headband. The teacher is very good. She demands a lot of the girls, and isn't exactly warm and fuzzy, but the all the girls love her. She's originally from Russia, if that gives you a better idea of what kind of personality she has. She's really great. I'm happy with how that is going.

Reece began her first day of school on Thursday and I was completely shocked at how well she did! She didn't hesitate a bit. She walked right in and got busy working on a project.....!!!! Wow! ...not even a pouty face!!:) I waited and observed her for a while to make sure that she would be okay - she was. Her teacher Mrs. Rous (from France:)), said that you would have thought she had been going to Montessori for years. I'm so proud of her! I can't believe it!

Gymnastics was also on Tuesday. I'll get pictures of that, too:) Also a really wonderful activity for the girls. The gym is owned by a family that is wonderful. They've been doing this for over 20 years. The dad, mom, and daughter all teach and are wonderful, along with the other teachers.

We are so blessed!
