Back to School!

That time of year is back and class is back in session! This year we have Isa in Kindergarten and Mr X in preschool. We recently completed our 4th week of Kindergarten and Isa is quite enjoying it. We are currently enjoying a week long break after completing our first month back in school.

Our obligatory 1st day of class pics:




We have re-enrolled Isa with Seton this year for Kindergarten and are off to a great start. She also participated in Seton’s Summer Reading program and met all the requirements earning her a certificate of completion.


Most of the following pictures involve a few of her Seton science lessons which are much more hands on and photographable than her other subjects.

Demonstrating Boyle's Law:



Demonstrating chemical reactions:




Studying effects of different conditions on plants:

Both kids are taking half day classes at Solomon’s Academy twice a week this year in addition to Isa’s full time Kindergarten curriculum. They are really enjoying the hands on learning at Solomon’s, the social experience, and I enjoying hearing all about their “adventures” in class.













Finally, Isa has begun her third year of dance at a new studio this year. And she is loving it so far!




Pregnancy update: We are officially 2 weeks into the third trimester and in the home stretch. I am very much feeling all the unpleasantness that comes with the third trimester and eager for November to get here as soon as possible. But so far everything is progressing as it should and all tests and measurements are coming back perfectly normal which we are grateful for. Come on November! In the meantime I am enjoying the cooler temps and so very much looking forward to fall.

In closing, here are a few pics of the kids enjoying the pool.
