Back to School

All of the kids are back to school now!  Addison started 3rd grade and Bennett is in 1st.  They are both so excited about this school year.

After all of the bus stop drama in Norway and France I can not explain to you the magnitude of my gratefulness for this picture. At our new house in Texas we are able to wait for the bus in our own front yard.  In Norway I had to push the boys through the snow in their stroller to take Addie to her bus stop.  In France it was a 10 minute walk either up hill or crossing major roads.  To be able to wave good bye to my kids with my coffee in hand, and still in my pajamas is AMAZING.  

Malachi and Garrett are in the same program that Addie and Ben were in when they were this age.  These boys are ready to start school too.  

Look at these babies! This is Addie and Ben at their Christmas concert when Addie was 3 1/2 and Ben was 1 1/2 and it was just before Garrett was born. 

And with school come activities.  The kids are keeping us all busy.  Ben has really taken to his Tae Kwon Do classes and there is something for everyone around here.
