Ashli got a crown too!

MAILI IS IN KINDERGARTEN!   So far she is loving it!  She is in dual immersion Spanish/English.
Her teacher is Mrs. Arroyo.  So half the time she's there (total of 21/2 hrs)  it is complete Spanish and the other half is in English!  I was a bit worried that Maili might stress and have a hard time cause she doesn't understand, but she is treating it like a game and is up for the challenge!  She seems to love it!  Taking her in to class didn't seem to affect me, but when she was ready to walk in the school by herself, I had a little tug at my heart.  I think 1st grade will be the hardest for me!

 Haeli is in her 2nd year of preschool!  She's had one day so far and loved it.  She is at the same place as last year, so there's not much of an adjustment, just an added day and new kids. She doesn't know anyone in her class yet, so she will get to make some new friends.  She seems to have really gotten big over the summer and is no longer my little girl.  Where does time go?

Ashli had to be in the picture with Haeli!  She loves her big sister!

All three of my treasures!

Back to School

So this week was the first week of school for both girls. Maili is so ready for Kindergarten but misses the deadline by just a month. So she is in her 2nd year of formal preschool.  When I took Haeli, I knew she was a bit apprehensive, as was I.  I've been wondering if it's too early to send her to school...she seems so much younger.....I guess she is, since Maili is kind of a year behind that way.  I felt a little tear in my heart as I left her there.  When I went to pick her up, she was all smiles and had a GREAT time!  She's ready to go back!

This is already old hat for Maili

Haeli loves her backpack!

Here are the two princesses getting ready to feast on our 2nd annual back-to-school dinner.
