First Day of School: 2016 Version

9 August 2016 –

After having a luxurious couple of summer months it's time to snap back to reality.  It's the first day of school!  

This is Ava's last year in the elementary school – she's a 5th grader! The 5th graders apparently "rule the school".  HA!

Annika is heading off to 8th grade – her last year of middle school.

It's the "MOM!  Enough with the photos already!" look:IMG_1850

Ava and Annika.  Ava is sporting her short, cute haircut and new glasses. Both girls got to pick out new backpacks this year. Annika chose an old-fashioned style rucksack (I'm sure influenced by "Captain America" movies and comics).

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
