Back to School!

 Kate and Miss Daisy had their first day of 3-year old preschool last Thursday.

This is actually their third year of preschool so they are pro's.

But, they going to a new school this year,

The Falls Church Day School, which is operated by our church.

(We loved her old preschool but the commute to Alexandria was pretty brutal!)

Kate was so excited!

When we arrived in her classroom, one of the little girls was anxious.

Kate told her that "preschool is fun!" and asked her if she wanted to play.

Then they walked hand-in-hand to the play kitchen.

I'm so proud of her!

We celebrated with our 3rd Annual Back-to-School Ice Cream Trip!

(Only 16 more before both kids are off to college.  Sniff!)

 

Matthew loved celebrating, too!

He was actually supposed to go to his first day of preschool today but,

unfortunately, he has a nasty cold and we decided to keep him home.

We had a second celebration when we got home from our ice cream trip:

a dance party with all Kate's stuffed animals!

Perhaps a new tradition has been born...
