Lemonade stand

Clara and Logan having a lemonade stand. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac, I was a little worried about how they would get customers. They sat for awhile, and then they went and solicited neighbors by knocking on their doors. They had a lot of fun setting it all up, making the sign, and drinking most of the lemonade:)

Clara with Mimi and Papa on the 1st day of Kindergarten.

Sept. 10th 2009, Clara's 1st day of Kindrgarten

Clara's 1st day of Kindergarten. She is also attending George W. Gibbs Elementary, her teacher is Mrs. Nichols. We love her! Clara suprised us on the first day of school. We thought we were going to have a hard time getting her on the bus, instead she walked away, hopped onto the bus, and waved good-bye. I think I was more emotional than if she would have been sad to get on. She acted so grown up and sure of herself. Clara is always so full of suprises, she is fun to watch grow. She has a love of learning and helping others. Mrs. Nichols is such a loving teacher. She teaches the class mainly through songs and music, which Clara thouroughly enjoys.

Sept. 8th 2009, Ella 1st day of 2nd grade

Ella's first day of 2nd grade. She started at a new school this year, George W. Gibbs Elementary. Her teacher is Mrs. Eckhoff, she had a baby in November and will back to school on February 12th. We are very excited to have her back. Her substitute teacher Ms. Campbell has been excellent, we will miss her. Mimi and Papa were visiting, they always make everything extra special. They are always such positive people to have around, and they are great examples to the girls.
