Last days of summer, First day of school

 Here's a photo tribute to our last few days of summer...
The girls and I had a few more days this week after Seth started school before theirs began.  We enjoyed a little creek walking, our favorite frozen yogurt place at the river walk in Naperville, and the gardens of Cantigny. The beautiful blue skies were glorious!


 Handstands can happen anywhere...




 Places to climb both tanks and trees at Cantigny
And now today, the girls' first day of school.  They were both up and ready early, so we had time to ham it up for photos before we left.

 3rd grade and 7th grade this year!
They both had a great day... full of things to tell about teachers and friends and lunch and classes.  Low and behold, they both declared math to be one of their favorite classes... hasn't been true in the past for either of them, so something must have gone well!  So glad.  :-)

Carol,
Madelyn was a few weeks away from her 6th birthday when Gwen came home, so kindergarten! Time flies, doesn't it? :-)

So glad for K at her new school, and that she can take the bus to after care. Hope it is the perfect place for her!
