Claudia starts preschool.

Last week Claudia had a play with her lil friend Cole. They had a great time eating picnic style in the playroom and making Halloween decorations.....legos too! Claudia had her first day of preschool. She was SO excited. Here she is at the end of the day. It was special because Daddy went with her.

Ready to go into the school for the first time as a new student.

My big girl.

Leaving home to head to school.

Last weekend we went up North. Izzy poses with a purple flower.

We went to the Wolf Sanctuary and saw lots of wolves.

We also went to the lumberjack days and say the log rolling contest. Izzy checks out the nice cold water.

Imagine our surprise when we find out the lumberjack is Claudia's preschool teacher. She is shy as he autographs a piece of wood for her.

Here is Lulu's teacher, Mr. Jamie as he runs on the logs.

The girls were in great moods.

And smiled for some great pics.

Claudia is in heaven with her new gymnastics class. She LOVES it.

Kindergarten for Izzy

Wow. Where did the time go? Is my baby really starting kindy? Tuesday, Sept 7th was her first day of school. But it was a short day with parents sessions. We all left home and headed for the school. Isabel was very excited. Isabel and daddy in front of her school.

It was a cold, windy first day.

Isabel showed us the way to her classroom.

Isabel locates her coat hook and cubby.

Isabel finds friend Mary, the only person she knows in her class. They have fun doing different stations when the parents head off to their parent sessions.

Here is Izzy's kindy teacher.

We think Izzy will really enjoy her teacher this year.

This morning was the official big day of school where she goes all day, everyday for the rest of her life! She had to ride the bus this AM.

Claudia and Izzy were excited and ran down to the neighbors house where the bus will pick her up.

The neighborhood kids who get on the bus with Izzy. But Izzy started to get apprehensive at this point and had a tough time letting go of mama's leg.

The serious face starts to come on......

I had to physically unpry her from my leg and then she went on the bus.

And my baby rides away.......I am so proud of her.
