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:
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).
Even though we live less than a five minute walk to school, Ava still prefers riding her bike to school (she does wear a helmet).
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
