The First Day of School

Well, once again we have survived the first day(s) of school. For our family the first day of school has all the usual emotions (sadness over the end of summer, excitement about seeing friends again, anticipation of new teachers...) as well as the overwhelming reality that now Mom is working again! Granted, I've been working 60+ hour weeks for the past few weeks getting ready for school but Tuesday marked the beginning of our actual routine. We are now officially all back into a schedule!

Annika is in 3rd grade this year. She started school on Tuesday just like me. Here she is getting ready to leave for school.

Here Annika poses by the Millbrook Chrstian sign. This is the last year we'll be able to take this picture since next year we will all be moving to the new consolidated elementary school.

Abby started Kindergarten today. She was VERY excited to ride the bus to school this morning with Annika. She's so grown up!


Mike and I are so thankful that we can send our children to a Christian school. The opening chapel on Tuesday was inspirational. I think that as parents we are keenly aware of that a privilege it is to have our kids at Millbrook. Having the added perspective of also working there and seeing Christian education first hand on a daily basis I KNOW it is worth every penny and sacrifice people make to send their children there. God is GOOD and He has blessed Millbrook Christian School and our family by allowing us to be a part of this learning community!
