We officially survived the first week of school! Ava started Kindergarten. I've had so much anxiety over her starting that it's a relief to have it over with. I knew it would go well - she's ready and the school is amazing. My anxiety is more about her going off into the unknown, and I'm worried about all of the new outside influences and challenges that I can't be present for. I know it's part of growing up and becoming her own person. It's a good thing. It still stresses me out and makes me a little sad. Now that she's started, I can already see the growth she's making and that makes it easier.
We live just a block from the school and Ava's neighbor-friend Grace started Kindergarten as well. It's the most precious thing to watch them holding hands and walking to and from school together. Ava loves her new teacher, as do I. She has tons of experience teaching and has published books on classroom education. Her class is split into two groups that start at different times and overlap in the middle. We are in the late group, which is prefect as Ava is NOT a morning person (I wonder where she gets that from;) and she gets extra recess time.
Lilly went back to the same preschool she went to last year, and she is THRILLED to be in the same class with her cousins Calvin and Jessica. She also has a couple friends from church in her class, so the transition back to school has been pretty seamless for her. The only part that's hard for her is that she only gets to go three times a week, as opposed to every day.

It was so fun to have you and the girls in town and we are already missing you. Capri looks at the pictures of lily and ava and asks for them all the time. Hope things are going well with their new schedule of school and everything!
