First week of school

 Abby woke up bright and early Monday morning to start her first day of 6th grade, and first year of middle school--this year, she gets on the bus at 6:40 at our street corner. 

Abby is on the "Survivor" team at school.  Lots of nerves going into this year, but she had a pretty good first day!

Later that evening, Norah got to go to her school for her meet the teacher/assessment conference.  She has Mr. Bachmeier for 2nd grade.  I completely forgot to take her picture with her teacher and at her desk like I usually do, but got a couple of other pictures:

Norah started school on Wednesday.  This year, she is getting on the bus every morning at Becky's, so it's an easy drop off for me, and a very short morning bus ride for Norah.  Two of Norah's best friends are in her class.  She had a good first day!

After a busy first week back, we enjoyed the beautiful Friday night with a bonfire in our driveway with some neighbor friends.
