Katie's First Day of Third Grade

It's back to school week!



Here's Katie on Wednesday, her first day of third grade. Required pic on the front porch...



...and pic in front of her school...



...and in front of her coat hook, showing off her new backpack....

...and with her teacher, Mrs. Benham...

...and hard at work at a word search with the names of all of the kids in her class. Wednesday was a half day, and a dress-up day, and there were no buses.

Here is Katie on Thursday morning, in her uniform, ready to board the bus for her first full day of third grade!

Katie getting on the bus for the first time this year! She had a GREAT first week of school. She likes her teacher and all of the kids in her class. Can't wait for a great year!

Megan had her first soccer practice this week, and I snapped a few pics. Here they are warming up by doing jumping jacks.

Megan practicing dribbling around cones.

Megan did great in the scrimmage - she's so fast! She has games every Saturday in Sept & Oct, but we'll miss this weekend (wedding) and the 25th (ND game). I know she'll be a soccer star :)
