Today Violet started a new year of dance, I think she looks a little to happy to be back at it.

Today Violet brought home her first home work. She’s supposed to bring in different things that represents her and present them to the class. So this evening we watched as she put it all together, and I just had to capture it for today’s picture of the day. Of course there was to many things to include them all in the picture, but I think I captured the most important ones.

Today we celebrated Nathaniel’s 4th birthday, so for today’s picture of the day I have Violet and Nate sitting with me before the party started.

Today Violet and I thought we’d try on some masks.

Today we have a picture of Violet working on her hockey skills. The first of a few preseason warm ups. It’s amazing how excited she gets to be playing hockey again.

Soon Violet begins her first year of big girl dance classes. No more combo classes, full hour of Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Acro and Musical theater. So this year she needs three different pairs of shoes.

Violet spent the last week of summer at overnight camp. While she was away she wrote us a letter. Of course it didn’t arrive till long after she came home. Still it’s a cute letter.

Today the kids headed off to their first day of school. They both had a great day, seeing there friends and meeting there new teachers. I can’t believe that Jacob is in grade 5 and Violet is in 2nd. Where did the time go. This could also be the last first day of school at St. Teresa’s school. We’re hoping their new school will be finished in time for next year.

Today we celebrated the last day of summer vacation with a trip to a local park. While Violet played with her friend at the water park and playground Jacob headed out into the lake.

In two sleeps the kids head back to school, so we began getting their bags ready for the big day. I love how excited they both are to get back to school.
