First Day of School

All right, I think with this post I am all caught up.  School started for us here just a little over a month ago on August 14th.  The school district here decided to start a little earlier than normal so that way the first semester would be finished before the Christmas break.  Ann started 1st grade this year!  She is not attending the private school she was at last year (while we did enjoy that school and I think it was perfect for Ann last year). For various reasons we decided to enroll her in one of the public school district's magnet schools.  As a result, she gets to have Spanish classes twice a week as well as other little extra things that aren't in the regular schools.  And she still gets to wear a uniform every day.  Ann has really enjoyed her new school and teacher and has been doing great so far.

Hopefully I'll have more time eventually for taking more pictures (as I obviously haven't in the last month).  With the start of the school year that means I am back at work part-time.  It's a lot more difficult to find time for pictures (and subsequently working on them) when I'm working because when I am at home, I'm more busy with cleaning/shopping/etc.  And if I do take pictures, it's often with my phone (and those just get uploaded to instagram instead of on here).  I am really excited though that the temperatures are finally getting to where it's sane to go and play outside for extended periods of time.

My big first grader!

These two are such cuties.  I know I say this a lot, but I really can hardly believe how much they have grown.  We've been here in Las Vegas for 2 years now - when we got here Ann was just starting preschool and Ian wasn't even walking yet.  I sure do love my little family lots and lots!
