First Day, New School! August 14, 2008

Becca and Mallory started school at our neighborhood school, Mountain View Elementary! They love it so far. It was quite a decision for me to make, since I have had them with me in Woodlake since pre-school, but it didn't seem to bother them at all. They were very excited to start a new school, and Becca even knew three kids in her class before the first day (Carson Crockett, a friend from church, Austin, a boy who lives right across the street, and Alyssa a girl from gymnastics/dance). They love their teachers and the afterschool program. In fact, Mallory came home the first day and made her teacher a card that said "I love you Miss Fox!, Love Mallory". My only feelings of guilt came today, when I saw the third graders at my school going to lunch, and Becca's friends were there, but she wasn't. I have also had to explain to everyone at my work, since they were expecting her. I could have had her at school with me this year, but she wanted to go with Mallory to Mountain View. Well, now regardless of what my next career step will be, at least they can stay where they are until they finish 6th grade and are ready for middle school!
They already have back to school night this Thursday, so we will take pictures and let you know how it goes!
